Bluetooth music issue

Miketovella · 07-05-2018, 11:52 AM

My car is a 2011 e92 m3 and the idrive system only has an option for making Bluetooth calls, there is no option for Bluetooth audio. Am i missing hardware or is there a software update i don’t have in order to play music from my phone through the Bluetooth system? Thanks in advance

You will need a combox update? Not sure if that is the term. If you want to keep it Oem through the Idrive. SohoE93 recently had the same thing performed. He would be able to inform you on cost also.

$800 for the combox upgrade so you can stream Bluetooth music or use the USB to stream from Bimmertech. Worth every penny, the aftermarket solutions are junk IMO.

Many use Tune2air. Do a search. I am using Tunai Firefly. It is small taking up little to no space. I've been using it for over 6 months on my 2010 M3 and it works great. I think the sound quality is very, very good.
