Default Any way to get bluetooth streaming?

Hey guys, so my collection of Bimmers is growing: I have an '05 545i and an '07 328i. I have iDrive in both, and I can connect my phone for calls and address book, but I was hoping for something more like Bluetooth streaming that handles everything like those cheap adapters that you can get off Amazon or eBay (what I use in my other cars, late '90's, early '00's Lexuses and Hondas).

I recently got ISTA/D and ISTA/P because INPA wasn't cutting it for the new-to-me E90. So I'm wondering: is this something that can be coded in or something?

Thanks as usual.

Lots of threads on this if you will kindly do a search. This is a particularly informative one:

Thanks a bunch, I'll check it out and maybe nab one of those modules! I'll definitely do a search next time (no excuse, sorry).
