Give the child some headphones and save yourself grief and maybe expense!

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

Radio, nope, not interested in some boring knob droning on, just music for me thanks.
CD? Who uses CD's these days :)

USB, yes very useful, built-in HDD, Bluetooth streaming, MMI :thumbsup:

Thought I had missed a trick here. Have been using a cable into the aux in the centre console to get spotify.
Check on Bimmer and I have codes -
6NF Music interface for smartphones
6FL Usb-/audio Interface
609 Navigation system Professional

Amongst other codes in the 600 range.

I'm not seeing an audio option at all and have screens same as Portisz4.

I assume I am missing the correct option for bluetooth streaming. Followed the youtube video and no option to add audio for me.

I've checked the free Spotify works - I had the same, spoke to a coder who asked me to message him my VIN number, took it to him, half hour later and 75 beer vouchers I have music streaming controlled from my steering wheel with camsam's speed camera warnings through the speakers

** Firstly sorry for the late replies over the weekend, I've been filming for my channel so have been very pre-occupied.

Have a look at this photo (stolen from another post on here), ignoring the red boxes the Combox is within the yellow oval, and this is behind the carpet section :thumbsup:

Yes, my bad :headbang: As I originally stated, for Bluetooth streaming you need 644, 6NF is for smartphone apps integration (ie; iPhone direct apps onto the iDrive system). I will correct my error :?

As long as the combox is definately there, so I'm assuming it is, then it can be coded. You need BMW Tools, which includes INPA, NCSExpert, Tool32 etc (Here>>> https://www.bimmergeeks.net/downloads), but then you need to know how to use it. If you are prepared to wait a while I've just relocated my Combox into it's proper place (I originally retrofitted it above the glovebox but decided to move it for the video) and will be making this into one of my How-To videos for a full retrofit which will include the coding side of it (basically some of which you'll need to know). Alas I don't know when I'll be releasing this video as there is a lot of other work to go into the video which I've not shot yet or compliled. I may be able to write down what you need but it's not straightforward without a video to show you, if you see what I mean.
