Bluetooth connection
I have a 2010 Z4 and I want to link my Android phone to the radio via bluetooth to listen to Pandora from my phone through the radio. I was able to link phone to radio but how can I get it so I can hear Pandora through the radio?

in the idrive you can select the phone to be connected for phone, and audio connection. when it is paired you should see both icons.

Bluetooth
Earlier versions of the Idrive did not come with the necessary soft/hardware to stream music from your phone to the stereo. Only phone calls. Later versions of the Idrive included the "combox" which allowed much more functionality including streaming music and even seeing enhanced graphics on the screen like album covers (for ipod/phone playlists).
There is a workaround for this (for earlier made cars 2009-2011) and that is buying a A2DP bluetooth adapter which plugs into the aux port into your center console. Some work better than others. You can do a search on this forum to see who likes what better. |

Poor cell reception may be a supply of frustration for several individuals. In our agitated and trying life, adding another drawback to the list sounds unreasonable, particularly once there's an ideal resolution for it. By getting your own mobile phone signal booster, you may get eliminate of unhealthy signal once and for all and luxuriate in the seamless communication despite wherever you're.
These days you'll purchase a cell phone booster that's compatible with a large form of network suppliers, and plenty of of them are compatible with over one carrier. |
