  1. Hi Im a new memebr of the owners club having recently taking posetion of a new BMW 1 series 120d. Very pleased so far and especially the Blue tooth connection to my mobile phone. Ive also just got a new HTC One X which is the latest and greatest android phone from HTC similar to the Galaxy S33 from Samsung. To get the best out of it I’ve also just bought a Bodit Car kit with a cig lighter to charge the phone, all great apart from one snag. Id like to enjoy the podcast I download through the car speakers, to do this I need to plug the phone into the USB port under the arm rest, and then struggle to find the songs as the iDrive is not the best to find the required track and a nightmare if you want to fast forward 15mins into a 1 hour podcast as it seems to only skip forward 3 seconds for every 1 second. what id like to do is use the phone itself to select tracks and play them through the car speakers as the phone has a great car app to facilitate this. However you can't connect the MP3 player on the phone through Bluetooth unlike the phone for voice calls. Rather than charge the phone through the cig lighter I could use the USB port, that would mean having to rewire the cig lighter connector into a USB plug which I don't want to do. Any ideas, is there a way to turn the USB port into a separate Bluetooth receiver? Help.... Thanks
