Right...I've now found a Mobridge Bluetooth/iPod/Aux unit under the back seats. There's an AV cable running to the centre console, terminating into red, white and yellow RCA connectors along with an on/off switch, but I can't get a signal from any of the sources through that.

There is a bluetooth signal, but my Galaxy Note 3 won't connect to it. Says the passkey is incorrect, so either it's been changed or it's knackered.

There's no "Communications" menu on the iDrive as a few of the tutorials show, so I'm at a loss...

Anyone know anything about these units?

Cheers,

Ben

Hello!

I'm brand new, to BMW cars and New Zealand, so, a complete noob!

I've just picked up a 2005 525i Wagon, which looks to have been imported from Japan, but maybe via the UK?!

Anyway, it has iDrive with FM/AM/CD changer (which doesn't seem to have power)/TV(!) and possibly MD? I was hoping to get some sort of Bluetooth going, mainly for Spotify playback through my Galaxy Note 3, but also for calls, I guess. I just need some help trying to work out what's gone on before I got it as there's cables and devices everywhere! I can't see any Bluetooth options anywhere in the iDrive menus and, while Navigation is an option, there's no Map shown and I can't choose a destination etc...

Could you guys help me identify the parts I have and the parts I'm missing to make my Bluetooth/Aux dream come true?

Here are some pictures...
