Bose X Headset CONVERT to Bluetooth

Can anyone please advise an add-on/'gizmo' I can buy or a modification I can make to the Bose X headset so that I am able to hear in my headset (through Bluetooth) the warnings/directions/information given by SkyDemon on my iPad.
Thank you in advance.

You could try a BluLink Pilot bluetooth device (BLULINK). They work in series with your headset. I've used it successfully with AvPlan EFB on my iPad. iPad's support A2DP connectivity with the BluLink which I think is slightly better sound quality than HFP.

Also, it may be worth asking BOSE as they have a bluetooth retrofit available for their A20 models.

Bose X to Blutooth

Thank you very much for the suggestion. I was in contact with Bose Aviation and they confirmed that they do not have a retrofit kit to make the Bose X Bluetooth capable.
Therefore the only options sounds like the BluLink option but based on reviews it is probably prudent to wait a year or so to allow some 'debugging' and perhaps a next generation.
Thank you
