Software update, any type of retrofit, replacing the head unit with hifi one?
I'm on mobile right now so I can't see, but I recall you're in America? If so, hifi IS the base option. You're certain that car didn't have iDrive? That sounds like it had a combox to me. To the best of my knowledge, even the newer head units with built in USB and Bluetooth still don't support A2DP stereo streaming or USB audio.
