Can coding get me enhanced bluetooth? - 435i w/out tech or bmw assist

New BMW lessee here, searched a bit and I'm under the impression that since my 435i has no tech package nor bmw assist that I do not have enhanced bluetooth. I want to be able to stream music via Iphone bluetooth, so is it possible to code for this even though i have neither tech nor assist? Or is there a better route to go? Curious to know what people with similar setups have done. Thanks

Yes you should be able to, as long as you have a combox, thats the only requirement, and on a 2014 435i u do.

The 4-Series has BMW Assist standard.

BMW Assist = Combox = coding for Bluetooth Audio

apparently they are standard with 2014 models... not exactly sure for previous models though.

You can lift the floor in the trunk (like if you were looking for a spare tire). You can find pictures on the internet of what it looks like. But as it said above, if you have BMW Assist, you have one.
