Bluetooth Audio

I just picked up my new "BMW X1 xdreive28i" with everything you can add on it....and i paired may iphone with the 'BLUETOOTH AUDIO" and i can only control:

volume
next track
prev track

Am I supposed to be able to control other stuff using this feature??

i had the other iphone conected with the "Y" cable and it worked fine...but it will not link up with the BMW CONNECTED APP"

same for me

My bluetooth audio works like yours. I think you have to be connected via USB for Apps to work. Kind of disappointing. The other thing that bothers me is that you can go through several menus to enable bluetooth audio streaming, but if you then connect the USB cable, like if you want to use the Pandora App, it disables bluetooth audio streaming so the next time you want to do bluetooth streaming you have to cycle through the menus again.

Depends on the phone. With a Samsung Galaxy Note II, I get song title, artist, song length and album art, but with an Xperia P, I only get previous and next.
In the Evoque, both give song title and artist, but no album art.

That said, make sure you have the latest iDrive update, as it has driver updates for better compatibility with more phones, including the Apple phones. 1006 is latest, I think.
