So I just recently bought a 2013 Countryman and while I have my phone setup via Bluetooth, it doesn't stream music. I know that Mini made a Y cable for Ipod/Iphone but that wouldn't make the phone cordless right? I'd like to be able to stream music and make calls through Bluetooth.
Thanks!

 

On my older Mini that didn't have Mini Connected I would use a Bluetooth/FM transmitter. You have plenty of power receptacles to use, even the one in the hatch and since they only work with the "key" on or engine running it works great. Some sound quality loss but it was better that nothing.

 

There is another thread like 5 or 6 down on the list on this topic.

Tune2Air is what we use and it works great. It doesn't rely on FM and therefore isn't prone to interference.

 

Nice!!

 

Wow! I spent that much on newer mini-connect plug. The wire is too short to reach the iPhone in it's mount too. Should have bought this.

 

One the cheapest solution is one of those Bluetooth to aux dongles. Just connect it to the aux port and pair it with any Smartphone.

 

I use one of those aux port bluetooth from amazon. It was cheap and works perfect.

 

The upside of the Tune2Air is the stock head unit treats it like a plugged-in iPhone, so song info displays, you can fast forward from the head unit, etc.

FWIW.
