Picked up 14 320i with no BT Audio. Can I code it?

Damage Inc · 07-27-2018, 12:53 PM

I'd dying with no BT streaming. In my M2 I used an iPhone app plus an "iCar" ODB port connector. These two together allowed me to code features on and off.

How do I code BT audio "on" in my 14 320i? No NAV, small idrive screen, no tech pack.

I tried the apple cable into USB. It charges only, no audio connection.

Shame on BMW LOL. They are so bad with how they treat customers to not include this in a 2014 model.

I've been doing searches, but not seem to find how I can code this on myself.

Make sure you have a combox first, if you don't have one you can't code it. (The silver box on the left) It's under your trunk floor liner thing.

I just checked. Yes I do have the combo box!

So what is the next step?

I feel like I'm following a cookie recipe ha ha

Awesome, thanks Manny! I have the ODB BT and bimmercode from my M2 so I'll give it a shot.

Any idea what settings or how to navigate to enable BT Audio?

It depends on which head unit you have....

Once you’re online with the app, go into the head unit and click expert mode. Make the following changes based on which headunit you have.

I have the CIC head unit and used this guide:

If you have a different head unit, you’ll most likely find this guide more helpful:
