2009 135i with Bluetooth, want to add USB

MDRex · 03-05-2014, 02:07 PM

I am buying a 2009 135i. The car has the Bluetooth (phone, but not music streaming), Sirius Radio, and BMW Assist options, but does NOT have USB. I want to be able to play music from a USB stick through the stock radio and have steering wheel control for the music.

How can I add this capability?

I've done quite a bit of searching and can't find a solid answer. Some threads make me think I just need the jack and wiring, and maybe coding. Some make me think I need one to many modules.

I checked the car and it does not have a MULF, it has the TCU 1.5 MOST box. Can I simply add a MULF to add USB playback? Which one would I need and do I need coding?

Would a mulf2 high basis svs replace my TCU and still let me have Sirius radio, Bluetooth, BMW Assist and add USB?
