E53 X5 (2005) and iPhone6 compatability
Discussion
Hi,
The X5 of that year will have a particular 'revision' of the bluetooth module. It's shared with other BMW's like the E46 and the earlier modules, with the E39 for instance. They're getting very old now so newer handsets might not work as well or at all. That said, you can try swapping to a newer 'generation' of BT modules, for these cars and the type of audio system, there's 13 generations and the later ones theoretically should be more compatible as it were. They also get more pricey too, with later ones being £200+ to get. Also, look at some of the modules used in MINI's as they went up to the 2009/10 model year I believe and can work in the X5, E46 and E39 I believe.
Iphones also have the best chance of compatibility as well.
Cheers, Dennis!
