Pandora/Slacker and 6FL w/ 2009 iDrive?

jimf15e · 04-30-2009, 01:49 PM

Can it be done? I'm not worried about song or artist info. I just want to know if I can listen to Slacker Radio, Pandora, or any other streaming service through my iPhone when it's connected via the 6FL option. Any limitations or surprise features? Will Bluetooth calls still connect and come through?

I'm considering a 2009 335i E93 and am wondering how this will work. I currently have my iphone connected via the aux input on my 2006 E90 and, obviously, can listen to any audio output from the phone (iPod songs, Slacker, etc.). It's just not as nice of a system as 6FL which wasn't available on 2006's. Thanks.

I believe the only way to do that is through the Aux connection.

Aux only, but you should still get 6FL. If you disconnect the USB side of the Y cable it functions as a simple aux cable, but if you want to have full control of your iPhone (ie song, artist on the screen) you have that option too.
