The enhanced Bluetooth was removed by bmw from the pro nav pack when they upgraded the pro nav system this was in the second half of 2012 I believe.
If you don't buy the enhanced Bluetooth but have the new pro nav you can code the car to enable all the features of the enhanced bluetooth apart from the snap in feature. This is due to the car having the hardware to support the enhanced Bluetooth but bmw not enabling it.
If all you want is to USB connect a device to the pro nav without a snap in then there is no real need to get the enhanced Bluetooth.
I'm not clear about the album artwork as this seems different from device to device and lots of people seem to be using a memory stick for music.
I personally went for the enhanced Bluetooth as want the snap in.
Others have also commented that they have voice control without the enhanced Bluetooth. |
Thanks very much for your response
It would be nice to stream audio via Bluetooth but not really fussed about the other options so if I can get music via plugging in to the USB and album artwork plus phone charging I will be happy!
