Bluetooth Audio Streaming Options

Steering wheel buttons definitely work. Have got an android. No song names.

Mine intermittently disconnects, but it is solved by un-plugging and plugging in the module as well as turning off and on my bluetooth.

Another option is the OEM combox retrofit but that requires an iDrive, either CIC (Professional) or CICM (Business). CCC and M-ASK don't support combox.

Even with an OEM combox installed, you only get the current track info and steering wheel button controls. Can't see the current playlist.

If you have BMW Apps on your Combox you can actually have spotify integration and browse tracks and playlists via the idrive(requires phone to be plugged into USB though).

EDIT: looks like BMW apps doesnt even work on android on CIC lol
