ipod/iphone connectivity.

Good afternoon, I am close to picking up a new mini cooper clubman and was wondering about iPod connectivity. I have the normal Bluetooth package and have been told that this will alone an iPhone or indeed any phone to be connected for wireless hands free use as a phone, but will it also allow for Apple's airplay system so that music can be streamed to the stereo without being connected?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks this is what I suspected but the saleschap was not sure but fairly confident. Will have to try and remember to glast for a y cable so I can control it via the stereo.

Picking it up tomorrow, the y cable will apparently not work even with the adapter for an iphone 5 as output is digital and ice can only receive an analogue signal. Apparently mini are working on a solution, until then the wife is unhappy as talked her into an iPhone due to ease of use!

Saw the car yesterday looks lovely but the northern in me wishes we had gone for the purple roof instead of silver. Looks better with silver but the purple was quite an expensive option an would of had better value for money if the roof was the colour as well!!
