I found this thread of interest because I've been trying to figure out a way to stream music via bluetooth to my car ('09 M3 with idrive/ipod integration), but I'm struggling with this a bit - are you doing this simply to avoid the wires? Because if not, why not just use the headphone jack on your phone instead of bluetooth? I've never had a problem from mine other than the fact that it's very quiet.

The issue I'm trying to get around is the bad amp in my phone (GSM Galaxy Nexus), which doesn't output clean quality sound at any respectable volume. This is likely because the impedance of the car input is too high for it the phone's amp to drive it properly. Do you find this to be an issue with your setup? i.e. is the bluetooth module's built in amp adequate to drive the car input without distortion and at normal volume knob "volume" (gain)?
