One thing that didn't come with my car is a manual... I've found one online which I'm pouring over.
IRD do you know the name of the red for our cars? Or is it just "Red" ? I've got some stonechips I might want to touch up and it'd be good to know what the colour is called to get the right one.
I had a similar "issue" with a boxster I had (no audio streaming via Bluetooth) but I solved that by fitting a better stereo.
It is a little bit crazy that a 2013 car isn't able to do it. I'd hoped i could upgrade the firmware of the radio but that seems to be a no go too.
I might have to resolve this in a similar way to before with a replacement stereo... Any suggestions anyone? For now a largish USB stick will / USB hard drive will suffice I guess.

...and this is why I can’t get enough of Z4s both old and new. Just compare that long nose to the white Octavia next to it.cre8toruk wrote: ↑Sat Jan 05, 2019 5:01 pm Hi All,
ok just got back... please find attached (hopefully) some pictures....
My only Gripe... Professional Audio installed Bluetooth to connect my phone but don't seem to be able to play any music from my phone.
Phone says connected for Call Audio.... Anyone managed to get it to work or will I need to invest in a USB stick?
Welcome and Enjoy...

I'm not sure about E89s, but my E86 has a plate under the bonnet with the VIN that includes the paint colour.
Otherwise go to a site like bmwvin and put in the last 7 characters of your VIN and you'll get the full OEM spec. of your car.
