Hi All,

I picked up my first ever BMW (2013 118d Sport - Black Sapphire) a few days ago and very pleased with my purchase so far!

One thing I wanted to be able to do, is control my phone music without pulling the phone out of the armrest etc.
So there's a usb and aux socket in there, I don't believe that I have connecteddrive(It's not on the car menu's).

a) Is there a way to be able to do this without connecteddrive?

b) If not, can I get connecteddrive?

Thanks for any help.

OK, So ignoring connected drive.
Based on the car specs above, what would be my course of action for being able to control my music from my phone.
either via usb & aux, or via bluetooth.
I've checked the pinned posts etc but none address my situation in-particular.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks

 

These are my car options from the VIM btw.
Also, I have an iPhone 6s.
