Have seen a lot of recent discussion on various forums regarding streaming of Bluetooth audio in the E60.

Amazon Amazon

Order this and install it on you AUX jack. My brother just got his today and the sound quality is amazing! Ordered mine tonight.

It should work with all recent bluetooth phones (as long as they have the profile).

It will work with ALL phones that are capable of streaming bluetooth audio. I used my iPhone on my brothers and it worked great. I was really impressed. Can't wait to install mine.

Right... which is why I said if it has the right profile. I don't remember the particular name, I believe it's A2DP. If it has the right profile, it'll work.

Now I said recent phones to be on the safe side. I still have some old ass phones from years and years ago that supposedly has A2DP 1.0 profile, but I wouldn't hold my breath that it works as it should.

Now the thing to solve is how to get this work without touching it to power on.....or what happens when there is a phone call............maybe I'm asking to much.

If you have a USB port connector you can find a USB charger and use it. I have a similar device and that is how I get the power source.
when calls come through the sound will mute. Good luck

I have been using this Blackberry bluetooth gateway with my iphone for over a year now and I love it! The sound quality is perfect. I started a thread a while back on this to let the community know about it. To answer the power question, I have it connected to one of the sockets on my rear console right by the aux in. It sits nicely on the hump between the rear seats and it is very tiny. Two short cords (3.5mm aux in & a mini usb power cord) and its barely even noticable. Your dash and front console remains neat clean and cord free. It powers up with the car so you don't have to tap it on and off when getting in and out of the car. Also when phone calls come in, it mutes the music just as it does when you are playing the radio, CD or ipod. There is no interference at all, phone calls are seamless. This product is awesome, everybody with bluetooth should definitely pick this up. It's cheap and come on PANDORA in your e60 with the sound quality of a CD or ipod?? Who doesn't want that?!! It's also great for internet radio, movies on your iphone, music on your iphone, games...all that. It's a whole new world having everything on your phone play through your speakers. Trust me it's a million times better than those crappy FM transmitters! Every once and a great while it will lose the pairing to my iphone (once every 3 months or so) and it just takes a few taps to pair it back up. Other than that this thing is the ish! Don't sleep on this!
