Enhanced Bluetooth w/o Tech package
I test drove the M235 the other day. It didn't have the Tech package, which is fine with me. But I noticed that the sticker listed the Enhanced USB and BT option. The description on configurator seems to link that option specifically to Nav, which this car didn't have.
I did do a forum search, but couldn't find anything specific as to why the Enhanced USB/BT would be on a vehicle without Nav/Tech. Does anyone have any information? The one thing I can add is that I brought along my iPod Nano to evaluate the H/K, and the CA was surprised when album art popped up on the smaller screen. Could that have been due to the Enhanced USB? |

Thanks. I guess I might try to find another car w/o Tech/Nav but also w/o Enhanced USB/BT, plug in the Nano and see if album art appears. I'll be ordering a 2016 2 series in a couple months, don't want Tech/Nav but it's nice to see album art, etc., when available. If that requires the Enhanced option, I'd add that.

This chaps my ass that it doesn't come with the Premium package at least. My car is a Mar 14' build and it doesn't have it. I'm guessing I could try and find a later head unit and swap it in and then code my car but IDK if it's worth the hassle. My Kia Minivan can play music over the BT connection but my BMW can't. My wife was rather amused by that.

Are you able to see album art when playing via Bluetooth?
