2011 LCI 335i bluetooth help

GRIP · 06-27-2015, 10:45 AM

I have searched everywhere, and can't find the information. I just bought a 2011 335i M Sport with iDrive, and Nav yesterday. I'm trying to figure out how to play music from my iPhone through the car. I tried using the aux jack, and a cord but it sounded like trash. I bought 3 different cables, and they all sounded the same. I tried plugging my apple cable into the USB port, but when I do it says "Reading..." but then goes to "Not supported" on the nav screen, and the phone doesn't work.

How can I get this to work?

your car manufactured 26.05.2010 and do not have combox and smartphone integration option
you need to use special bmw iphone Y-cable if you have iphone 4 or ipod
for iphone 5 and 6 you need additional apple lightning adapter
check this thread for all options

Stop torturing yourself and get a USB stick. Copy your music to the stick and plug it into the USB port under your arm rest. Problem solved.

I think it's bullshit that any car made after the year 2006 doesn't have a damn feature that is readily available on a Hyundai Accent. BMW were dicks for this shit.
