You can see how it is currently paired by looking at the icons on the BT menu on iDrive. If it's paired correctly for BT audio, you'll see it listed in the external devices even if it's not physically connected.
I know this all works for iPhone but not sure on Android
Re. options and transparency, there are two problems: 1. user manual and BMW option brochure is misleading; 2. dealers are next to useless on all technology options

hey sfax ...
i'm reviving this post as i've now picked up my X3, and I have the BT Audio etc specced on the car. The phone syncs fine, and I've then gone into the sub menu and ticked the BT Audio box, but it doesn't then appear in the devices, and the audio (notes) sign is grey.
Is it an issue with iPhone "5" maybe? really annoying as this would be my ideal audio stream.
