    Yes, it should work for our 2G MMI in P- models, here is the link to this device on ECS, part #4F0051510J but it says "No Longer Available".
    Just googled and found one offering priced close to $200 with shipping. And an interesting comment in the review section: "Terrible item. Very poor audio quality. songs skip and lag. I had a Blackberry Stereo Audio Bluetooth Adapter which outputs to a 3.5mm a/v plug which worked flawlessly."
    Makes me thinking I'd rather go with the retrofitted AMI-iPod cable and BlackBerry Music Gateway (already bought on ebay, it is coming soon, yay).

    I was just monitoring ebay for "BlackBerry Music Gateway" for a couple of weeks and finally won one of the items offered by a private seller.
    Here is the search query for ebay.
    If you switch to "sold listings" you should grasp the idea of how much this unit costs in used or brand new condition. Weird you can't buy from big resellers like amazon if you ask me...

    They are definitely hard to find, but Best Buy Mobile shows them in stock. This is not actually Best Buy, but subcontracted out to "Smartphone Experts".

    Great find because used BlackBerry Music Gateways are often sold for more than 40 bucks on fleabay! Especially with free shipping for getting the combo (BlackBerry Music Gateway + BlackBerry micro-USB charger that you actually need for powering the adapter for 2G MMI).

    I would like to know this as well. I have a blackberry gateway that i want to use. Right now I have the setup from Rich and it works great but I am having issues with the bluetooth cutting in and out every few mins. I have used the blackberry gateway in my boat for playing music and I have never had any issues with it, so I would love to use it in my car.
