Add Bluetooth audio for $10
I just added Bluetooth audio to my 2008 535xi for $10. If your car has the headphone jack and the USB port you should be good to go.
I used the following part from Ebay.

If you've also BT paired your cell phone to the car I don't understand how you can have both functioning simulateously? It is my understanding that you can have only one (1) BT connection functional at a time? Or, have you elected to BT Pair your cell to the USB/aux input? If so, do your cell contacts get transferred, do you see caller ID, etc?

For $10 I can’t complain. I got tired of plugging a headphone jack into my phone all the time.
Also my phone pairs with the Bluetooth cellular that is built into the car and the USB dongle at the same time.

What's the quality like? Is it better than going straight in to the aux? I've read bass suffers on these Bluetooth audio bridges.
That said with the volume level and with the sound being optimised for headphones, aux to headphones isn't ideal - so this could be an improvement?
