Hi guys,

I’m hoping you can help me with this. I got a 2009 E60 2.0 D a month ago and I love it.

It’s got Bluetooth connectivity for phone calls, but supposedly not Music. My son, however, somehow managed to connect YouTube content to my car and run it through the speakers! He did it from an iPhone SE. 

When it happened, it showed up as an active phone call on my iDrive. I told him to switch it off when it happened and neither of us can work out how he did it! I sat in my car for half an hour trying to replicate it, but with no luck.

If there is a genuine way of running YouTube content through my iDrive then great - if only I could work out how! I have the second generation iDrive controller (wheel and buttons) but what looks like the first generation screen set-up.

Any suggestions?

James

      325i push button start switch

      Hi. That start/stop ignition button never turns off. Same with the P when parked. I will check the mini fuses on the car. I even added some not in fuse box. I will look for gear and brake fuse. On diagram and #. Thanks

      Looking to buy a used 2015 650i w/ low kms, any advice?

      Hello fellow BMW enthusiast, I'm looking to purchase a 2015 650i xdrive with 70K kms. I understand I'll need to hold some cash back for maintenance/repairs and have another car if it needs to be in the shop. I don't have a garage so I won't be servicing it myself. Anything I should be looking for before I buy and is this even a good idea? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Geoff

      Transfer Case

      Morning Darren I brought mine a few years ago (2009 if I recall) through Ebay. Make the checks mine was from a UK seller with good feed back who also offered back up. Before that I used BMW 1.4.0 (still have it on the same laptop) Where ever you buy just make the normal sensible checks to make sure you will have support if needed Dave
