bluetooth enigma

So I have decided to go headless(no head unit) and just run everything out of an equalizer as several on the site have done, and of course I want a lot for nothing i.e. bluetooth capability would be great as we primarily listen to music from phones.

1. just to share I found a milenia bluetooth adapter that looks pretty cool:

or
2. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=320-355

Now to the enigma portion, I am curious if a BT dongle will work in the usb port of the equalizer I will be using. The music data will be transferred by AD2P, as both the ones listed above use. So I would think a small BT dongle would work but cant find a definite answer from someone who has tried it. If I cant find someone who has tried it I plan on doing so, just to see as the cost if under $20 and if it doesn't work I am sure I could send it back.

thoughts?

I understand one sends data via 3.5mm and the other by RCA. Maybe my question is unclear in my original post: I am curious if a USB BT dongle would work or if I can only use one of the two mentioned or something similar.

Something like this:

I use this when I'm not in one of my vehicles:

Works very well, has USB (for charging), 3.5mm in and out and a FM transmitter. I've only used it for Bluetooth + FM transmitter and has sounded fine, though I've never had it connected to anything but basic factory systems. Could easily hardwire it to an EQ with a 3.5mm to RCA cable.

One thing to keep in mind is some of the cheap Bluetooth units have sync issues.
