I know that the Beolit 12 is an Airplay device without Bluetooth, but is there any way now to use it even though I don't use Apple devices? I use Android and PC, I'm not in the Apple ecosystem at all. I have a Beolit 12 and I know I can use it via the Aux In socket, but I'd like to use it wirelessly if possible. Is there any way for me to achieve that?

As far as I know, no. Airplay is Airplay. Member Leogonewild did a mod on a Beolit (12 I think but maybe 15) to insert a google home inside. Quite a work if I remember correctly but neat and clean. If you like challenges…

I think you're right, I've searched around and it really is Airplay only. I just want to get some use out of it, but I think I'll just give it to a friend, who uses Apple devices.
