Default 2005 build date E61 - BT question

Hey guys, so I believe I have BT installed in my car because the photos I posted below are leading me to think so. Do I simply need to have the existing system coded for it to become "active"? I just want to listen to music directly from my iPhone. Any info will help. Thanks!

You will only be able to talk through Bluetooth not stream music. For music you will have to mod the car.

I do not believe the E60 allows for bluetooth music streaming.

Although like the e90 you might be able to swap it in with a CIC swap and combox(2012+ models) and code in for it
