Default What model year did the GS start streaming media via bluetooth? 2010?

Just confirming, I read that the GS line began bluetooth media streaming through the head unit for 2010+ models?

I guess I could use an A2DP adapter with an AUX port, but I figure the integrated head unit is just cleaner and more convenient.

And are there "levels" of bluetooth capability? Or just One-For-All with Lexus (which would be awesome)?

Thanks for any insight!

rominl is right. This is something I think Vaistech should have integrated with their latest units (ML Plus). The iPod integration to head unit is cool but many times I just appreciate the simplicity of the A2DP... it has decent sound and I don't mind control it through iPod.

the official words i heard from vaistech last time is the sound quality issue, that they want to maintain certain sound quality and bluetooth streaming isn't up there yet. but they did say they are actively looking at it as an option
