Hi Guys! First post on this forum, so pray be kind :wink:
I wonder if someone out there might be able to help?
I'm looking to buy a Z4 SDrive 23i 2009 reg. The car is in superb condition, full dealer service history, one owner (who I know looked after the car) and under 6000 miles on the clock ...BUT! I am so used to using bluetooth for phone calls, which unfortunately the car was never fitted with.
The car doesn't have the satnave/idrive, nor does it have USB unfortunately, just a lonely AUX socket under the armrest and the standard Professional Radio install
I would also like to use my iPhone 5S in a brodit holder as a satnav, for music and for audiobooks (geeky maybe, but I just don't get the chance to sit down and read...Audible was a revelation!).
What is my best option?
Ideally I'd like the following:
- Bluetooth for hands free phone
- A direct connection of my iPhone, for charging and audio, with track info in order to play music / audiobooks (I have the Brodit holder that lets you plug in your own lightning cable)
- Control of both of the above via the steering wheel controls.
There seems to be a load of info for the older model Z4s on this forum and the net in general, but not so much on the 2009+ E89 models, and very little alluding to iPhone 5+ integration. I'm just lost as to what is the best option (at a reasonable price point too!)
A huge thanks in advance for any guidance / advice!
