I have one of the newer 'big headlight' Plus Fours with a blue tooth sound system, (not the Senheiser unit), which is usable from my iphone, but I also have a Pure Eezy-DAB head unit from my previous ARP4, which I would like to install, sadly, it is only bluetoothed in from a 'phone or similar, not out to an amp, this is done in the old fashioned way with a jack plug, the question is, does anyone know if there is an input into the amp, if so, where have they hidden it? Under the passenger footrest maybe?
I know I could check in with my dealer, but where is the fun in that, and anyway, there may be someone else here who would benefit from the info.

On my MY22 the amp is behind the rear panel. The bluetooth bit is at the front. Here is link to my post as I retro fitted a system. The car came with nothing.

I'm sure I found a couple of phono inputs/outputs! under the metal casing in the passenger footwell when I was routing my phone charging cable... might be worth having a feel around the usb socket area, my bluetooth module was velcro'd there too... from memory (not that good these days)... there was additional 12v power too!?
Might be worth investigating before unscrewing the rear panel.

The Kenwood amp in my 2021 Plus four is behind the back panel on the passenger side - I fitted a pioneer radio beside it as I couldnt get reasonable bluetooth radio here in Ireland - I removed the musicstream inputs to the amp and connected the radio - Lo and behold the bluetooth app for the radio on the phone controls the radio and with it the speaker levels!! so I have proper output from the front speakers as well as the back ones, and get all my music from the phone through the radio control app( a Pioneer!) as well as perfect radio. The aerial is passed through to the spare wheel area and a short rubber aerial mounted on the sloping back deck behind the hood! Its really the best of all worlds!
Cheers!

I picked up my Six from MMC earlier today having had earthing issues checked / rectified, and a tunnel pocket fitted on both sides. Dismayed to find that the phone wouldn't connect to the Mog's bluetooth. I deleted the connection option on the phone, but nothing new came up, so just the engine soundtrack on the way home  . My working assumption is that during the work the power to the bluetooth receiver was disconnected and not restored, or the receiver was damaged during the work. Because the factory closed at 13:30, and I arrived at 14:15, I couldn't deal with it there and then. A phone call on Monday, but if it's not obvious what has happened it will be another visit to MMC (which has some merits!).

The power supply on my22 cars is the same as the usb power socket. It might be worth checking the fuse.

I'll bet that's no longer working as well then.
