2011 335 build on Oct 2010 includes blue tooth streaming?

Herakles · 02-03-2015, 10:31 AM

They said the 335 im looking at was built in oct 2010- and does include bluetooth streaming- does this sound correct? Wow sounds so old (5 years old already technically.)

Only if the nav option/tech option is on the car. The LCI in 2009 was the first with BT streaming IIRC.

Bluetooth streaming requires Combox+CIC. Combox was first installed in Sep 2010 production E9X.

belcom · 02-03-2015, 03:45 PM

My 335xi was built in oct 2011. I have not tested if it streams though. Will try to do it and let you know.

chrisk03 · 02-03-2015, 08:37 PM

As floyd stated, it must have the navi for bluetooth streaming, otherwise you are SOL...I know because I have a 2011 (Oct 2010 build) with no navi and bluetooth streaming no worky.

sy2767 · 02-03-2015, 09:20 PM

My 2011 was built 09/2010 and I have nav but no BT streaming. I checked under the truck floor and no combox to be seen.

robthewrench · 02-04-2015, 08:25 AM

My July 2010 build does not have the combox, I have nav, but without the combox, no bluetooth streaming.

jt335i · 02-04-2015, 08:39 AM

HMM. My 2010 has the nav and bluetooth. Going to have to check if it has the streaming option.

Agentphish · 02-04-2015, 08:48 AM

Bummer if you don't have it. If you want to add streaming in your car you have several options.
- Add BMW hardware. This will be the most expensive.
- BT dongle that connects to your AUX port
Look for one that specifically states it supports aptX codec for best possible BT audio quality. Like the Kinivo BTC450/455.

- AirPlay if you use Apple devices. Search for my thread on AirEnabler. There are other threads about doing this with an AirPort Express.

Good luck.

piker28 · 02-04-2015, 10:08 AM

My 2011 with build date 01/11 has bluetooth streaming.

Sean335i · 02-04-2015, 10:14 AM

A2DP bluetooth functions started showing up in the 2011 models.

Have an e90 with nav, no bluetooth streaming, easy enough fix with a cheap usb transmitter from amazon plugged in to my arm rest plug and aux port

Can you still use the car's bluetooth for phone functions when this is connected to your phone?

timothy2001 · 02-04-2015, 11:24 AM

Get the VIN and plug it into this link:

http://www.bmwarchive.org/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html

Make sure it has the option codes contained in the following text:

Making wireless phone calls requires a Bluetooth interface SA 644 or SA 633 in the car.
Wireless transmission of music stored on the smartphone is handled via Bluetooth Audio Streaming from Connected Drive. This function is available in the following cars / with the following equipment:
All BMW models from build year 07/2013 with special option SA 609 (Professional navigation) or
All BMW 1 Series from build year: 07/2011 and BMW 3 Series from build year: 11/2011 with special option SA 609 (Professional navigation

Hope that helps you and if that car are you paying $33k for make sure it has Premium Package, Sport or M Sport Package etc. It should be loaded at that price.

Herakles · 02-04-2015, 03:11 PM

Ok the build date was Nov 2011. Is that good being it was built late 2011?

So the factory warranty goes out to 2/11/2016 or 50K miles,

yep. basically the usb bluetooth receiver is only for the aux in, its very low profile, like a fob for a usb mouse with a port for a male to male plug that goes into your aux plug

i can use voice commands directly from my phone or from my car, no hiccups

i think the bluetooth receiver was 8 bucks on amazon
