BMW technology severely lacking
So my 2014 z4 with upgraded HiFi sound has the same technology as my 2003 z4. Did BMW seriously sell me a 2014 car that can't play bluetooth audio? Did they seriously sell me a car that can't play audio from a USB connected iPhone or Android phone? This is more than embarrassing.
Please tell me I am just missing something and that this functionality exist on my 2014 with UPGRADED sound system. |

My 2016 model supports Bluetooth audio and two phones connected simultaneously. One as primary (phone book, can make and receive calls, text messages) and the second is incoming calls only.
It can play music via USB but if you have the BMW Connected app, it also allows you to play ,and control it through iDrive, Amazon Prime Music, Stitcher, and iHeart through you phone. I think I was able to at least play audio through USB with my 2011 E89

My Z4 is 3 years older than yours and it plays bluetooth audio and connects to my phone just fine. I also loaded up like a thousand songs onto a USB stick and play it through the USB port, so no problems there. So yea, you might wanna get your system checked out...
