Bluetooth

I have a 2011 without bluetooth. Is it somehow possible to get bluetooth functionality by retrofitting or any 3rd part accessories? I would like to stream music from my android galaxy s3 phone.

On my former e46 I purchased a Bluetooth receiver from BMW worked like a charm. However, any other device for that purpose will work the same for less dollars then BMW will charge you.

if you go third party it is going to be A2DP into the third party device which will go into the aux port. No steering wheel integration and you need another solution for charging.

My $0.02 for music it is better to use the phone cable to USB port or y cable that goes from your phone's dock port to aux in and power.
