Can the Bluetooth connection be used to use the iPhone 3GS's iPod features as well? Or is it only good for the actual phone features?

Not yet. Thats A2DP. Unfortunately even basic headunits of pioneer from even over 5yrs ago supports BTAudio but the E60 doesnt. :thumbsdown:

However I am sure the newer models will support it in the future hopefully. If your car has an Aux in, use that or you can purchase an OEM aux-in install from BMW.

Good luck!

Maybe in another 5 years, BMW will get with the program when it comes to Audio electronics. Right now they are focused on EfficientGaynamics.

Although it won't help you now, there is a new option "6NF" which is available on the new 3 and 7 series (and apparently will be available on the F10 5-series) which will allow full smartphone integration of both the phone and audio functions. BMW is getting there... just very slowly.
