Bluetooth Audio Streaming

Just picked up my 2012 xDrive35i X3 today. Decided to try audio streaming on the way home after successfully pairing my Blackberry 9650 Bold. Configured the phone on the BC for Bluetooth audio but could not get any sound out of the car speakers. The phone worked great and the contacts downloaded to the Office fine. Anybody know what might be the issue. Not a huge problem since I plan on using a thumb drive or iPod anyway. Just wondering why it didn't work when it seems like it should have. Thanks.

You gotta select external drive and audio Bluetooth after pairing. It should work then. Also check phone bluetooth properties on iDrive, it should select phone and audio.

yeah tricky, at first I had problems too. make sure you have bluetooth on the phone and the phone and audio icon should be lit if its paired correctly.
the audio feature is not enabled automatically even if the phone is paired.

in my humble opinion, the sound is compressed but its a handy feature.
