Quick RANT about pairing . connecting an iPhone with the BMW iDrive system using Bluetooth or the USB connector. Apparently lots of people are having problems, I managed to find a simple solution costing 5quid.
I have a 2013 328i x drive with the same screen not the bigger one. I ended up buying a aux to (newer) iphone plug and it works through aux only. I never used the usb because it never worked.
320d F30 bluetooth doesn't offer anything Audio related. Only for receiving calls which I find really odd. My 2005 Audi even had full working Bluetooth (Was retrofitted a while ago)
if you got the same phone as him @least get an iphone 6 (i got one)... i really recommend if the 6s or 7 ... they both still have aux and usb and dont cost $1000 lol and still work just as great as the new iphone
Guys please help! My bluetooth was working fine, but then one day when I wanted to add a new device it would not show the bmw identification number, then I pressed the add new device several times and the identification number showed for a split second and then disappeared. (It glitched) When I pressed it one more it did not show the id number for bluetooth. From then I can not find the solution, so please if you had this problem help!!
I find aux really annoying on bmws. On my Audi, the AUX sound quality is great (atleast with aftermarket radio coz original one went to deep sleep). I'd like to use the tech that's been around for God knows how long... Bluetooth :)
