You can set up a code to connect the iPhone to the X3 (pairing). I set it to 0000, the standard for just about everyone, since you still need to accept it anyway. The phone will ask for the code, and after you type it it will be accepted as a p[hone source. I actually had to repeat this process for the audio source part as well. After that you can stream from the phone by going to the multimedia section of the X3's iDrive and if necessary selecting Bluetooth in the output icon on the right side of the volume that only appears when you have a connected Bluetooth device or an Airplay device on your network (like an Apple TV or Airport). I hope this helps, I can be more detailed if necessary. |

I had to switch Bluetooth on and off on my iPhone whilst on the bluetooth audio menu and then it picked up. Connecting via USB disables bluetooth audio and it's a bit of a pain to re-enable but I like the fact it's possible. Very useful.

If you havent already, I would try to follow jj's instructions and unpair and re-pair your phone when on the Bluetooth settings screen on iDrive (with no physical USB connection to the iPhone). It is fiddly to get working with pro nav so will be fiddly without nav too (if it works at all - I'm not sure if it will). Use iPhone's iPod to test as this works 100% with Bluetooth audio streaming

re: streaming audio w/out Nav

Just put the BB device into the arm rest, plug into the aux and another cable into the lighter to keep it charged. My iPhone picked it up as a bluetooth device right away. Works like a champ! |

could you link and/or elaborate? I'm trying to get my Nexus S to stream audio (any audio) and so far I only see 'Telephone' under bluetooth options. If there's a work around needed for non-Tech Package/non-Nav I'd love to know about it!
Thank you. |

Once you've plugged this device into your armrest's aux & charger, go to into the bluetooth setting on your iphone and it should be listed as an option. Just select it & enjoy! Occasionally, I need to re-connect it but not often. I can control the audio from the steering wheel, but you need to use the iphone in order to skip forward to another song etc...

opening this thread back up. streaming from an IPod/iPhone is easy to do.
How about enabling BT on an Andriod or Garmin GPS. Has anyone successfully enabled their smartphone using BT to stream? If so what audio channel do you use, Tuner, AUX, iPod, etc? My goal is to get my garmin zumo with BT to stream to the speakers. If I can't do this then enable my android smartphone. I can do this by plugging directly into the AUX port via a cable and switching to the AUX port. Can't get this to happen via the BT even though I can get it to pair to it. |
