2009 X6 Bluetooth let me play music of Iphone?

[997addict]

Hello,

I have looked everywhere for this info but cannot find the answer.

- On an early X6 from 2009 - does it come standard with Bluetooth for mobile? Also if does have it can it also link to the audio system so you can play music wireless less off an Iphone now.

I know it has an AUX jack can plug into but don't want to do every time.

Thanks for heads up.

No, a 2009 X6 will not stream music from a bluetooth phone as standard.

Thanks for reply, feared that may be the case. Don't want to change the head unit. Or could get a Bluetooth dongle to stick in the Aux port?

Do you know if it could after the mid-life refresh in 2012?

Cars fitted with CIC iDrive and a Combox can stream bluetooth audio. I don't know when this change happened on the X6 (It was March 10 on the 3 Series and September 10 on the 5 Series).

Again thanks, very useful. I assume those dates are for 2012? Is there an easy way to check visually or from spec sheet?

Looks like an answer

Also digging around it looks like some Bmw models you can plug the white Apple charging lead USB end in to a USB port in the cars.
This let's you control iPhone through head unit - anyone know when this became available?

Not sure if X6 even got a USB port??

Another vote for the Fire Fly, use one in my E91, works 99% of the time the other 1% I think is more likely to be my phone.
