Bluetooth adapter via USB for radio?

vb2010userByvb2010user

Hello folks,

Unfortunately, my radio (Philips AZ787) doesn't have Bluetooth. Therefore, I would like to upgrade. To do this, I would prefer not to require an external power supply for the adapter.

It is not possible to connect a Bluetooth adapter via AUX alone, as AUX inputs are not suitable for supplying power to a connected device.

Unfortunately, my radio only supplies power to the USB port when the source is set to USB, which is why a Bluetooth adapter that works via AUX wouldn't be possible to connect to the radio itself; it would require an additional connector. But that's exactly what I'd like to avoid if possible.

So I'm wondering if there's a USB stick that can act as a data stick for the radio and provide a playable MP3 or WMA file for the radio, in which the Bluetooth signal can then be heard.

There is something like a CD drive for cars, which you can retrofit in cars without a CD player because it outputs the CD as a USB stick with WAV files.

I haven't found such a stick anywhere yet. Is something like this even technically possible? And if it does exist, does anyone know where I can get one?

I'm curious

There are actually USB sticks that can output as a data stick for the radio and contain a playable MP3 or WMA file in which the Bluetooth signal is included. These are often referred to as “Bluetooth adapter for USB port” or similar.

To find such a stick, you could search for Bluetooth adapters for USB ports in electronics stores or online stores. Make sure that the adapter is compatible with your radio by checking the product description or contacting the manufacturer.

However, note that the quality of the Bluetooth signal may not be as good as a dedicated Bluetooth adapter. Disorders or connection problems may occur. It is therefore important to read reviews and experiences from other users to ensure that the adapter meets your requirements.

It is also possible that there is no such adapter for your special radio. In this case, you could consider alternative solutions such as buying a new radio with integrated Bluetooth or using an external Bluetooth adapter with power supply.
