Does anyone have a bluetooth receiver that works with iPod Hi-Fi?

I'm hoping to make my iPod Hi-Fi Bluetooth compatable. I purchased one and it didn't work.

Any suggestions?

iPod Hi-Fi

Not only does this item work perfectly with the Apple iPod HiFi speaker, if you have one of the adapters/inserts for the old iPod mini (4GB/6GB) (adapter number 3), it will look particularly neat, as the size of that iPod very closely approximates the size of this LAYEN i-DOCK. These various adapters used to come with older iPods to make them fit on the old Apple universal dock.

I think the Airport Express works perfectly because it has an optical audio jack + WIFI. I'm also looking for a bluetooth compatable but most likely it should be an apple product. Please, let me know if you could find it, it will be so useful.

Regards.

OK, I figured it out. Get the iSkin Cerulean Bluetooth reciever. It works perfectly with the iPod Hi-Fi! ! !

You can get it from Amazon, but the title of it is strange, and the picture is incorrect, it's of the transmitter, but believe me, it works 100%. It actually has the iPod Hi-Fi on the box which surprised me. Here's the amazon link:

The CoolStream Bluetooth receiver works with the Apple iPod HiFi. It plugs into the 30 Pin connector and has no problem working on the 12V power from the HiFi. No battery so no charging. It gets the power from the dock. You can buy it at http://www.coolstream.co/index.php/en-us/product-catalog/coolstream-bluetooth-re ceiver-for-iphone-dock-detail or at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EL58YA. Good luck.

I wear hearing aids and use the iphone 5 to control them. it does not have a 30 pin but the newer smaller usb. So far I have not been able to find some kind of receiver that will transmit or input audio back into the iphone. There are guitar applications, but nothing for "line in" of mp3 shuffle type audio. my riding instructor has an fm unit and students simply wear earphones. Because of my hearing loss and the bulky "behind the ear" aids, I cannot do that. My phone plays its music and phone calls directly into my aids, much like phones do for "jawbone" type hands free. But I need an auxiliary input to feed my instructor's voice into my aids. Any suggestions, that won't cost an additional $100+?
