Hi i have a 320i msport 2012, my idrive have all the buttons on tel, my steering wheel has the voice button, but i dont see and settings asociated with these, how to activate them because nlw they are just not doing anything

Run Mdecoder.com on it to see what options it came with or are installed.
6xx options are mostly the entertainment options.

The same buttons are on every steering wheel just because they are there does not
mean the options are installed.

What does this mean?

When anything says preparation it means the wiring is there
but the module or software may not be installed.
That is why you have no phone.

The BMW stock phone requires a TCU or Mulf or Combox module and the
proper software enabling s to make it work . And the microphone may be missing
in cars made after 2009 when they stopped doing pre wiring .

No easy solution since it requires both wiring the module and programming if you go the OEM
route .
My12Volt module may cover this I have there module for the pro radio I don't know how good there
one for Idrive is.

Okay, so can you tell me how exactly how to get it to work or if there are links to videos of people doing it,

The reason i want this to work is because the 12volt bluetooth adapter sounds terrible comapred to the cd/dvd musics,

So i want the same quality of music from bluetooth thats isnt crap..

Thank you, and please help.

The Mr 12volt adapter I have has exactly the same quality as a CD when played through a usb drive it's slightly less with the bluetooth.
It does not use the Aux thought it has it's own .
If you have either the Base System(no amp ) or the Hi Fi system (small amp )
things aren't going to sound good from any source .
And it appear's you have the base system .
Indicated from the lack of 676 Hi Fi or 677 , 688 Top Hi Fi aka Logic 7 aka Top Hi Fi .

You can try a Combox retrofit you will have to look it up here.
This will also require a wire harness and a certain level idrive and programming .
There are several threads here on a combox upgrades.

Also on the coding sub forum .
and idrive sub forum .

Show me your 12 adapter so i can get one. If thats okay, instead of going through all the trouble of the oem way

Be sure of which idrive you have.

Be sure you have a Most Bus . BMW does non standard
stuff in some markets .
The phone could be integrated with your particular idrive
you need to check it.
Be sure you have the programming software to add the device
into the Most Bus.

Visit the Mr12Volt.com site.

It won't be very simple either way
