Want to control iPod with iDrive.

paprmkr · 08-20-2013, 02:18 PM

I have 2007 325i with aux only. Shop charging me $750 for module to get that kind of feature. iDrive and steering control, Bluetooth audio. Any other less expensive options?

For that kind of money i would go either Dension or moBridge with Bluetooth for streaming... The only thing is that installation would be extra but there are DIY's that you can use to install it yourself. Im considering MoBridge as well...

Just use the Aux. trust me, your investment will not be returned upon seeling in the future and the ROI is just....

Now, pairing your iPhone is another story. You get all the features of your pod , but the best is calling and answering hands free if you have the premium pck, which I see u don't I believe.

This is just my opinion. However, it would be interesting to know the price of both mentioned above.

i do have the bluetooth for my iphone but only for calls. and phonebook.
also, i installed the LC6 convertor and KenwookXR900/5 amp. but when i start car sometimes sound cancel. Could my iDrive cause this intermitten problem. my idrive screen takes forever to boot and if i start car prior it completes cylce 50/50 change my audio will work. i check all connections to amp etc...
my idrive has and is malfunctioning. i have extra one. but no time it install. think if i install new one would it help.
