Hello

How to stream music over bluetooth to car?

I got Idrive with BT..i have already conected phone and make calls but have no idea how to stream..

Is that really hard to do it or im a fool? lool

In Multimedia i got:

FM, AM,CD,AUX
When i go to AUX it show me TP and TONE...TP was checked.

In BT options i have paired my phone and it show me only that.

Maybe i missed something by checking options??

Thx in advance for help

What year is your car? I know LCI you can but I know on pre LCI you can't if you have the older I drive.

Streaming was not introduced until vehicles produced after 09/2010 (MY 2011.5)

Dension gateway 500s bt or similar mobridge unit
for quality sound.
The aux input is noted to be low quality some
people have reported its better with a DAC such as
a Fifo.
