Bluetooth. Can it access devices other than phones?

For example, can I play mp3s off my BT-enabled PDA through Logic 7?

Doubtful.

If you want to hack up a driver for your PDA you can enjoy your mp3s over bluetooth in glorious 8khz mono. Go nuts.

Don't be so sure there, bud.

BT has more than one profile, and hi-fi stereo audio is one of them.

To the OP - BT _can_ do a lot of things, but both devices involved in the transaction need to participate. AFAIK, BMW doesn't have any support for profiles outside of voice and phonebook transfer.

If the Logic 7 with the IPod option can play Ipod tunes (I am assuming a digital transfer NOT analog) then BT should be able to accomplish the same.

NO!! I tried it about 2 weeks ago with a BT Ipod adapter from Jabra. Did not work. I had to return it.

A2DP is the BT profile needed for hi-fi audio, and as far as I know, the BMWs don't support it.

You could use a A2DP to mini plug adapter and plug it into the aux input and use it that way, but I don't know if they make such a thing.

I'm well aware of the abilities and limitations of A2DP, but unless you have a reflash for the TCU that you're not sharing with us it's not an option for the E9x.

I'm quite sure that 8Khz mono is the best you'll get out of any published versions of HFP.

I've posted this before, and I'll probably post it again: Motorola DC800 + mini-USB car charger + RCA->stereo 1/8" cable will get you A2DP over the aux input. I'm sure there are other options, but DC800's are what I have in my drawer.
