iPhone 5S Audio 2009 E90 Sedan

This has probably been talked about hundreds of times, but I want a better way to play music in my car. Right now I have the Lightning cable and AUX cable coming from my center console. I despise these wires!

Is there a better way to get wireless music with my factory radio?

I've tried using the Bluetooth AUX adapters, I lost so much quality that I returned it. Those in my situation what have you done to overcome this issue?

I'm in the same boat...2007 E90 with Logic 7 but no i-drive..I can stream music via a bluetooth transmitter but I want to control the music using steering wheel, also the music quality drops via Bluetooth and AUX..

I just gave in and bought the adapter from BMW. I needed to stop texting and driving anyways so now it just sits in the armrest. Only thing that I don't like about the adapter is that it takes it's sweet time trying to charge my iP6.

Does this allow you to see the music on the radio. I don't have iDrive.

Check out the ViseeO Tune2Air Bluetooth products. I have an older one that plugs to the factory 30 pin Apple connector and I'm happy with the sounds and you have control of the plugged in device too.

The only way you can get quality is through the usb.
Aux Input is crap and bluetooth streaming is not as high quality
as USB be design.

Sweet! I've changed my mind again. This is the new setup. Plus it looks like something I can do on my own.

Does this interfere with the factory bluetooth? Am I still able to take my calls the same way?
