i8 and streaming bluetooth audio
Has anyone been able to get their iphone to stream music (both itunes library and pandora) via WIRELESS bluetooth to their i8?
I can get it to work with the USB but no luck with bluetooth... Also does anyone that has 2 or more BMWs have a good solution for sending GPS addresses to the car from a MAC and and iphone. Thanks ! |

No problem with my iPhone 6+, I use iTunes, Spotify, etc. dunno about the address forwarding for the GPS. I just use the voice and say "navigate to ________ address"

I don't think you can connect using bluetooth while you are connected using the USB.
Is that still an issue or did they fix that? |

Last week my daughter and I went to dinner, taking the i8, and I wanted to listen to the UCLA basketball game which was broadcast only on AM radio. So I went to my TunedIn app on my iPhone to hear it but fumbled with the connection. My daughter immediately brushed my hand away from the iDrive controller, went to ConnectedDrive, pulled up the TunedIn app now appearing on the iScreen and put on the game for me. (She did this while she was driving the i8 I might add. She loves it. Reminds her of the Z4.)
She's 17 so she knows how to operate this stuff. Me? I'm a geezer and helpless.

If you plug in while streaming over Bluetooth the USB will take priority and switch, but you can go to the list of sources and select the Bluetooth after plugging it in and it will work.
