I noticed a UK brochure says the car support A2DP bluetooth streaming:

But I can't find any mention of it for US cars. Anybody know what's going on here? Do US cars support it?

There's no option or mention of it in the owner's manual.

Doesn't seem like it's supported in any way. Would love if it were.

Yeah, and the strange thing is it looks like the UK cars get the same nav head unit we do. So is it just disabled, or is there a separate/different bluetooth module, like on VWs?

It'd solve one of my issues with the Juke, that's for sure: leaving my phone in the car by accident.

So often when I hook up the phone to the car via USB, I leave it sitting in the little phone cubby and forget to take it out. I'll get better obviously, but I'd say right now there's a 50/50 chance I'll leave it in the car by accident out of habit.

RubXcub, same here. It's gotten so bad for me that I am now using a thumb drive for my music! I'd say I was leaving it in the car 75% of the time. I never did this in my old car, but here it's so hidden, I simply don't see it!

Interesting about the A2DP support, because on the UK forum, they kept insisting you can, and I kept insisting it didn't work on mine. Now, I know it isn't just me.

Hmmm. Could it have something to do with our having XM? Maybe it uses an audio channel needed by A2DP? I know XM and Nav can often be poor bedfellows on some headunits, without some creative wiring (e.g. BMW/MINI headunits).

My wife's car has the BT audio streaming from a phone, it sounds absolutely horrible about 10 times worse than AM radio. Now she uses a USB stick that I gave her.

You're really not missing much by not having this.

I tried to stream bluetooth on the Juke and it's a no-go for US models at least. It kind of makes me mad

The Prius, the Honda CR-Z will no problemsm, and even the Kia Sportage will stream via bluetooth! A Kia beats a Nissan?!

It seems like the navigation system in the Juke is old-school. No bluetooth streaming and No voice-search for destinations.

All that said: I bought the Juke anyway.
