Is Enhanced USB/Bluetooth option needed for streaming music?

I find that with most manufacturers, if you have Bluetooth, streaming music is standard. No extra option needed for that feature. But this wasn't the case in my E90. Even though I had Bluetooth, I could not stream Pandora or any other music from my iPhone. Just confirming if I would need to buy this option on the F80 or has anything changed?

Thanks.

I don't have it, and I can stream music from my iPhone to the car via bluetooth.

I too am confused about the Bluetooth because I remember some members on the forum saying that even if you opt for advanced Bluetooth, you still need to plug your phone in via usb for some stuff (apps maybe?). Any word guys? Can't remember off the top of my head.

That's awesome news. I could not do that on the E90. What exactly does this enhanced USB/Bluetooth option get us other than a place to charge the phone?

Bluetooth streaming is listed in the standard features for the F80/82. Enhanced Bluetooth was standard in my 2012 335is (E92) and my wife's 2013 535i (F10).

The standard option is 6NH - Hands-free Bluetooth and USB audio connection. Does the phone have to be plugged into the USB for the streaming to work? What extras does the enhanced option provide?

Basically just office and BMW apps. It's really just a fancier, more touched-up version of the regular bluetooth streaming.

You can stream music via Bluetooth. What does the enhanced Bluetooth do I wonder?

Free assuming you have a laptop. The cable was $20 or so. Tokens aren't required for VO coding (which turns this on).

Sorry to bring up such an old thread. Does coding this in void the warranty?
