Bluetooth Audio on 2011.5+ and NO iDrive only...

Hi there:

If you have Bluetooth Audio working, can you tell me what you see on this screen:

I wonder if I should see Bluetooth Audio there.

Furthermore, how did you set it up?

BMW Customer Service confirmed that although my car has the latest combox with expanded Bluetooth capability, my Business Professional stereo does not support it. Namely does not support Bluetooth Streaming. Another reason to get the iDrive.

If anyone learns otherwise - please let me know.

That is annoying for sure. Although it may not be part of the Professional radio's software, I ended a call via bluetooth, and for a split second the music from my phone was streaming on the speakers. To me that seems like it is possible somehow, someway if BMW decides to offer an update. Wires are annoying, but it's still not worth the ugliness of the double hump dash and eventual cheeseball look of an old outdated nav system. My $.02
