Help! Any bluetooth audio devices?

My 2009 M3 can play music from my iphone via the usb connection. But it gets annoying real fast to have to connect my phone each time I get in the car.

Is there a device I can buy that allows me to play music over bluetooth?

The tune2air thing is the best unless you're willing to spend the money for the combox retrofit.

+1 on tune2air. Just ordered it and it works great. Works with the steering wheel controls and everything shows up in idrive.

It might, but you would definitely lose steering wheel controls and you'd have to choose AUX In on iDrive. Or you could just buy the Y-cable to use it as intended. If that's not an option for you, maybe someone who actually has one could test this configuration for you.

I've been using this for a month now and it works great. The phone will pair to it automatically when ignition is on. Phone calls will still be answered through your car.
It's small and you'll never see it inside the center compartment.

I got this working a few days ago, but I don't get track information or steering wheel controls via Spotify. Haven't tested it through the stock music player. Anyone else experiencing this?

my setup is overkill, but I have a Rockford 3.sixty.3 in my car and it allows me to stream audio to it.
