Default Connecting micro USB to Dension 500 to stream music

Hi guys,

I've got a Dension 500 currently installed, it's great IF you exclusively have Apple products. However, in my case, my primary phone is a Nokia 1020 which happens to have a great feature: Nokia Music http://music.nokia.com/us/en - it basically allows me to stream any and all music for free.

What I would ideally like to do is leverage my Dension 500 to connect with my Nokia phone and stream the music through the cars audio system.

I currently have an older iPod connected to the Denison, but it requires me to have the music loaded onto it vs. being streamed. Also, for those of you who ask 'why don't I get a iphone 5s', IMHO I prefer the Nokia - better camera and the features I need and use a lot are fantastic on it.

I noticed that the Dension 500 has a female USB, however this does not seem to allow music to play through it.

It appears that the BTA1500 is an option, however I already have the tech package, which include BT phone integration in my car.

Are there others that folks here would recommend that work VERY well?

But I assume that was a USB to USB connection and no streaming of audio. I understand that I can connect a 32GB USB stick with mp3 files on it and it should play with no issue. But what I'm attempting to do is connect to the USB into my phone (micro-USB), then stream music from it to the Dension. That doesn't seem to work directly...or perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

BTW, I'm looking at this potential solution: Tune2Air

However, there appear to be some issues when interacting with NON-Apple products. Anyone here have any direct experience with it?
