On the earlier cars they were VERY different but on our year model the difference between the Pro and the Business is the Screen Size, DVD, HDD, and A2DP.

A2DP is what you need: Advanced Audio Distribution Profile

To be doubly sure, in iDrive menu:

- Go to phone
- Go to paired devices
- Select your phone
- Push right on your controller
- It'll show you what capabilities your device has (sync phone book, stream audio, etc.)

If you don't have music streaming there then you can't do it.

Another way to check is on your specs sheet:

Option 6NL: Includes basic bluetooth
Option 6NF: Includes A2DP and Music streaming from the media cradle in the armrest if you buy one.
Option 6NR: All of the above + BMW Apps.
Sorry for reviving an old thread but... this is the straightest/best answer I have been able to find.

The above being true, what would someone need to do in order to obtain Bluetooth audio streaming on a stock system? Is there an upgrade available from BMW?

In my case I have a 2010 135i M package. I'm not sure what is included exactly with the M package, car was purchased used.
