Has anyone installed any aux/upgrade for 2007 400h to get Bluetooth ( to play Spotify etc) - Does it go through M L ? So is it ML sound?

I dont have spotifiy; but what i did do was go to best buy and have them put in a sirius xm setup for me with a aftermarket unit and i believe it was only a little over 100 some odd bucks; it was 80 for the unit and i think 40 for the install at the time. the one i have runs wirelessly though fm frequencies; and so far so good with it. I love having sirius. Ive had it for almost 3.5 years so far and i just love it.

Coolstyln, yes, BMW uses a few brands: Hi-Fi (low end HK), Harmon Kardon, Bang & Olfusen, and for recent models Bowers & Wilkens. This is subjective but in my opinion the ML is closer to B&O and a tad better than HK. B&W is another league and smokes ML in every way.

I would double check with the company but from what I know (I used it on my non ML RX330), GROM bluetooth integration kits like the USB3+bluetooth kit or the BT3 works with ML. This kit sits before the ML processor so it would still go to it's equalizer then to the amp. But ML does not make up for low quality audio or signal interference.

You can find my comment on this thread. It would helps. You don't have to change anything on your car. You need to plugged it in and you're good to go. Connect your phone with the Bluetooth FM transmitter device, then setup the same frequency on FM and the device. That's it. Then your car have bluetooth right away.
