iPhone 7 Compatability/ Audio quality
Hi all,
I have upgraded to an iPhone 7 and have experienced some issues with the audio in my 2011 E92 M3. Before the 7, I would just use an aux cable with no issues. Now that the aux port is removed from the phone, I have to use the aux cable with the lightning port dongle. The audio quality has suffered dramatically versus using an iPhone 6 or listening to satellite radio. Any suggestions? |

This is what I use. Works beautifully on my iPhone 6 over Bluetooth. I tried plugging the aux straight in from my phone and couldn't really hear any quality difference vs this.

I'm confused, why don't you just use a USB-Lightning cable? There is a USB port in the center console.

Ok, so it isn't just me. Jeez it sounds like complete GARBAGE with the iphone 7. I get that we're technically putting out an amplified signal using the aux, but it wasn't that bad with my iphone 5 & 6.

Don't use the aux input, use a USB connection.

It takes a few seconds for it to pop-up. I think if you have BT pairing enabled (for telephone functionality) it warns you that it will be disabled until you unplug the cable.
