iDrive navigation when using Bluetooth Audio

CanadianHorseMan · 06-14-2013, 02:19 PM

iDrive is awesome, but one thing I can't figure out is how to change directories or navigate through my iPhone music library. All I can do is next/previous/pause.

I don't have anything in "Music Collection" as I haven't imported any music to the hard drive in the car. I'm thinking that may be the only way to have navigation based on artist...is that correct? Is there no way to navigate through artists via Bluetooth connection?

I do not have the BMW Apps package on my car...the only option I don't have.

Pretty sure that's all you get through Bluetooth streaming, regardless of options. But I think if you plug your iPhone into the USB port, you should have full access to music library and searching by artist, etc., even without BMW Apps.
