Bluetooth on a genuine bmw stereo
How easy is it to get the Bluetooth working on a genuine bmw stereo? Is it a case of just getting a module for it?
Appreciate any help you can give. |

Perhaps you can be a bit more specific with your question? Something like what do you have currently and what are your goals going forward. |

You don't say if you have idrive or pro radio this makes a big
difference on the routes you can go . What do you require from it? Also which sound system you have can make a difference in what you can or cannot retrofit Hi Fi , Top Hi Fi or base system . There was no bluetooth Music in BMW's till after 2010 approximately . Mr12volt is a common way to get usb,sd card music plus bluetooth streaming. All routes will involve some programming. BMW bluetooth music only works with idrive of a certain year a software level. |

If you have iDrive, then a Combox retrofit is the way to go. Plenty of info on this forum to do that. Or an MMI box, like the Mr12volt box, that gives you Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. If you don't have iDrive, so a radio with no screen, (and this also actually works for the iDrive unit as well) then a Tune2air adaptor is what you want. This plugs into the AUX/USB ports and gives you Bluetooth music streaming and is controllable via the steering wheel buttons (the only adaptor that is!).
