    Connecting mobile to Bluetooth and casting YouTube content

    Mejay1975 posted a topic in The Owners Club General Discussions
    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
