Hi, I have always loved my beo2300, but no longer play cd's as much. Is there a way to stream music to it wirelessly or through bluetooth from my iPhone or iPad ?  I would like to use it, but now it is just sitting around not being used.  Thanks for anyone's help.

Stream from a web radio or iPad etc using a suitable cable with DIN connection to your tape input socket.

Steve at Sounds Heavenly (bottom of forum page ad.) can probably make up a cable for you.

Edit

Or connect an Airport Express or similar for wireless connection. Connect the Beomaster and web radio or Aiport Express to a socket extension controllable by a remote control so that you do not switch off the streaming device and leave the Beomaster switched on.

And if you really want to do this wirelessly then you could connect an Apple AirPort Express to the tape input socket of your BS2300 (or a bluetooth receiver, but bluetooth audio is not very high quality)

Or a playmaker to keep it B&O.

Thank you all for your suggestions, but I'm not sure how to connect my wireless connection (non airport express) router to the beo2300?  You say " to a socket extension controllable by a remote control", but I'm not sure how to accomplish this. Could you please provide some detail or examples?  Are the replies to my questions suggesting I have to connect the beo2300 to my wireless router?

What do you mean by a "playmaker" ?  Sorry, but I seem to be a novice at this.

It can be used with the 2300 through the AUX-in as well.

Pretty much all of the solutions suggested are a box which you would connect to your BS2300 via the tape/aux input on the BS2300. It is then this box that connects to your wireless router (wirelessly) and your iphone/ipad then streams to this box via the wireless network.

Hope this makes sense.
