iPhone 5 on 2011 M3
I just picked up a 2011 E92 M3 and was able to hook up the phone on the Bluetooth no prob... My question is regarding playing music through my phone. I use pandora and rhapsody a lot.
Is my only option to use the Y-cable? Or can I stream music through Bluetooth somehow?? When I plugged just the apple USB cable I get a message on the screen that says "device not supported" I'm in the mobile app and can't do a search on the subject. Thanks in advance.

What is the combox?
How do I know if I have it? My car has premium, technology and cold weather package... So I would think that it has that right...

I think my car is June 2010 car
So does that mean no combox and y-cable is the only option?

Yes, unless you upgrade to the combox which folks have done. Do a search for vendors (including the tech) who can handle this.
With no combox there is no bluetooth streaming of music available so yes, y-cable is the only option...

You can always just go and look inside your trunk. It will be located under the carpet panel.

So we can install this unit? I have a 2010 and I'm not sure the built date. I recently upgraded to a iphone 5 and debating if I should buy a new Y cable. If bluetooth is an option, I would rather do that. How's the sound quality over bluetooth?

Sound quality is very good in these cars. Shoot me a PM if you need a price on a kit. |

If you have it, it works REALLY great. You startup pandora, switch to CD/Bluetooth source, let it play. When you stop the car and get out, it pauses pandora on your phone so you're not wasting data. When you return, start up the car, it resumes and restarts streaming. Really a great implementation!

Wish i had the combox....
do they make Y-cable for the iPhone 5? I ask because as you know the 5 has the new lighting connector.
