    that HU doesn't appear to support BT streaming.

    http://images.kenwood.eu/files/prod/...ion_Manual.pdf

    first couple of results in google suggest the same - there might be a plugin that will add the function though, probably worth speaking to the shop you bought it from.

    BT streaming isn't all it's cracked up to be - could just use a pendrive or SD card?

    Does your missus not have the original CDs or Digital files for her purchases? Be easier to use them I suspect.

    I'm not sure where the law would sit on a phone running youtube videos whilst in motion.

    And then you've got the issue with the data required to stream?

    There would be way too many CDs in my car if that were the case.. And the phone gets placed down in a holder so there's no issues there
    And I have unlimited data on my phone so that covers the streaming side of things
