Best option for streaming audio to E53?
Best option for streaming audio to E53?
Hi guys,
my 2005 E53 3.0d (comes with 16:9 satnav, Bluetooth & BM54 radio and ) currently has an IntraveeII & Ipod in the boot
I dont use the Intravee that much nowadays since i just tend to listen to internet radio from my iphone4s.
So I was wondering what is the best solution to streaming music to the X5 from a smartphone?
thanks

The extra features the Intravee offers such as folding mirrors after locking etc - can these only be obtained through intravee?

any idea if the cable ran from the front all the way to the radio tuner in the boot.?.
The only thing that has kept me from buying it so far is that the x5 appears to be one of hardest car i have come across when it comes to trying to route cables to the back..... I tried ones when i Bought the car but could not bring myself to ripping it apart
