How?
Same question!!
I’d hoped one of the wireless dongles would have worked but as you say it’s harder with the older MMI. I bought them fro AliExpress for £208 and customs was £22 ish. Links below

You need an Aux cable plugged into your AMI port to trick the box into using Aux for sound. If you don’t have AMI and have Aux then you’re good.
I bought a box of the heat shrink / solder sleeves which are handy for joining wires if you don’t fancy soldering. They’re actually dead handy. A roll of Tesa (cloth) tape is handy too.
Happy to help out with any questions/advice needed BTW It’s not actually difficult, just a bit awkward and takes a while if you’re being fussy. I now know what to watch out for. I spent too much time trying to get the wire from the car into the hatch and trying to remove the boot handle.
