F430 Bluetooth Music Streaming

[samastonlongley]

Evening chaps,

Still early days into F430 ownership but I’ve been having a fiddle with the stereo and managed to get my phone hooked up to it via the Bluetooth. However I’m struggling to work out how (or if it’s possible) to stream music to the stereo from my phone. I’ve had the hands free connected and it works great (shows up as Ferrari7907 on my phone Bluetooth)

What I’m wanting to know is, is it even possible to stream music on the original stereo and if not is there an add on allow this?

Thanks in advance
Sam

The Becker? No, it isnt; not without an aftermarket add-on.

Yes it is a Becker unit. Ah that’s a shame! Did the Becker units come as standard with Bluetooth or do we think my car already has an aftermarket add on?

Are the music streaming add on’s still available do we know?

Bluetooth standard as far as I am aware.

I had a Becker in my 430 and I was able to simply have an iPod permanently connected and left in the glove compartment.

Worked great for me.

That looks like great, does anyone sell them in the UK??

[mwstewart]

Quite a few companies offer them - that was just my first Google search result.

The iPod interface is an option.

Buy a better Becker (as from memory there are a few) that allows the iPod connection.
