Upgrading Car Stereo

[Biscuit128]

Hi all,

I have just purchased my first ever BMW and am extremely happy with it. I have a 61 plate 318i M Sport Edition. One thing that is bugging me however is the stereo, it is pretty poor in my opinion and therefore I am potentially looking to upgrade it.

The stereo in question I believe is the BMW Business Radio - looks exactly like this;



Which stereo would I need to upgrade - just a normal single din (think thats what its called) or, can you get an alternative BMW one which is better? I have a AUX port under the arm rest just behind the gear stick, in this compartment there is a detachable "thing" which I believe might also be for in care entertainment - if anyone could un muddy the water for me id be most grateful.

Thanks

The aux port is a 3.5 mm jack annoyingly

Is this what you were talking about regarding door triangle tweeters?

I have also just discovered that - my stereo has bluetooth which allows me to make calls - but not to stream audio :@ I thought I purchased a BMW not a Fiat panda - what were they thinking not adding this lol. Anyway, I have seen a solution to this which is http://www.amazon.co.uk/Genuine-BlackBerry-Music-G... however - this still means I have cables on display -

anyone recommend me a decent single DIN stereo?

Thanks
