Hi All
I've had a good search but failed to bring anything up...
... therefore I hope someone can help me here or point me in the right direction! I have bluetooth, nav and the widescreen with voice controls (In a Nov 2005, 520D).
The "phone" function of my iPhone4 works perfectly with the car. I'm yet to purchase the new iPhone dock to sit in the armrest.
What i want is to be able to access my music off the phone. Will the newly released dock do this? Or do I need to retrofit something...and if so what?! Will playing music from the phone effect the "phone" function at all?
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Stu

I'm not sure about playing tracks via bluetooth - would be great if it could, but I have a feeling it's not possible.
The other options are to get a lead hardwired into your AUX port of the stereo (you'd lose the CD changer functionality though) or to do what we've done and a FM transmitter.
The one we use is this:
And it's pretty good, but not flawless.

Alternatively you could also try the setup that I have, which works quite well for me, and also allows me to retain the CD changer:
- Dension Gateway 500 MOST, allowing you to play ipod, usb & aux
- combined with the Dension BTA1500 bluetooth module, enabling both bluetooth calls and bluetooth music streaming from my iphone
In this setup I disabled the OEM bluetooth module by unplugging it and looping the fibre-optic line.
good luck,
Liam
