I've been told the Tune2Air 1000 is a solid fix for audio streaming - but I need a reliable bluetooth connection for speaking while driving. It appears in 2009 BMW could not get this right.
The Tune2air absolutely rocks, but you're right, doesn't help you out here. What's your problem, exactly, just instability and unreliability? Poor audio quality? Something else? 2009/no idrive/iphone5 works great for me. The audio quality is pretty bad, but that's true of the handset profile in general - the clarity is just fine and the other end never complains.

There are a bunch of solutions, but none of them super perfect. If you give more details about what in particular you don't like, maybe one fits well.
