I bought a Bluetooth (BT) adaptor from Kogan last week when they were $19 inc. shipping: http://www.kogan.com/au/buy/home-stereo ... oth-audio/
Figured I might be able to use this in the Liberty with the AUX in.
The set comes with a USB charger & 3.5mm - 3.5mm stereo plug

It's pretty small - about the size of a 50c piece

I bought this to enable BT music in my car without having to remove the phone from my pocket and plug in (doesn't sound like a big deal, but my drive to work is only 5-6 mins = hassle to plug/unplug)
Pressing the play button on the device automatically loads your music player and last-played track, even when the phone is locked (which was a prerequisite for me).
Functionality is basic - previous/next track, play/pause, and volume up/down. However you can also use the phone's touchscreen for controlling everything.
However, if you have an Android phone, the standard Play Music application sorts everything by artist as default, which means that all tracks are contained within an artist "subfolder" - thus, pressing next/previous doesn't work unless you have other tracks from the same artist, and there's no way to skip to the next artist.
So I downloaded a free app called Clean Music Player (https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... usic&hl=en).
Looks average, but allows you to view & play all music in its original file structure.

And the device also sends call audio via BT to your car's speakers if you activate with the loudspeaker/BT button on your phone when dialling.

When a call has ended it resumes any music playing. Obviously you can't initiate calls from the device, but eh, what do you expect for $19
I'm really happy with this super cheap solution until I get a Nexus 7 2nd gen tablet installed in the dash.
