Sorry want clear. Can anyone recommend a Bluetooth add on plug in for BeoSound 4?

Perhaps something like this. The description confirms it can be set to various languages. (Update - I've done a quick currency conversion - quite expensive!)

I spoke to this company and Unfortunately they say that they do not have a product that will enable Beo4 to receive Bluetooth songs from my iPhone. They recommend using Airplay an old Apple airport express. Has anyone used this?

This from the user manual made me think it was compatible

You can also use a simple aptX compatible Bluetooth receiver like this Philips:

If you need any cable just ask Steve from https://soundsheavenly.com
He can provide any cable you need in any length.

Thank you. That looks perfect!

Would love to hear reviews from anyone who has used an adaptor (rather than cable) to stream  music through Beosound 4 or Beolab 4000. Would love to hear product reviews!

B&O have advised me to use their Beosound Core but this is obviously an expensive option.

Buy this, with my BeoSound 4 works perfect. Also the cable is good quality - the second link. Highly recommended.

The cable is connected between Philips bluetooth receiver ( 3,5 jack ) and hifi unit - BeoSound 4 - 2 x phono input on the bottom. Then, to listen the bluetooth music press A.AUX on your remote control.
