bluetooth music 07 m35
Is there a way to add the option to stream your music from your phone via bluetooth on the 07 m35 without changing out the original radio? I like the set up on the car, I do not want to change radios just to have my music streamed. same thing with DVD will I have to change out my radio to install DVD in the headrest?

You can't change your radio without thousands in custom work/modifications.
Search this forum for the USA Spec. BT unit or Grom Audio. Others have done this upgrade to enable BT.
Cant' comment on DVD.

Thanks for the info, I think I will just leave well enough alone, I am the only one driving I really dont need a DVD. I love the master setup I already have.

Was looking for my post that asked the same question. Basically you can purchase the GROM bluetooth adapter like I did or save up a grand or more to do custom work. Nobody makes s*** for our cars and lots of the stereo places I called didn't even wanna touch it because of how finicky our NAV is apparently 
. As I understand it, all the electronics that run through the dash connect to the NAV unit which is notorious for having issues with installs.
The GROM unit is ok, not great (costs about $200, did the install for $75). I have to turn my phone and stereo unit up almost all the way to get to the volume I want. Sometimes the bluetooth doesn't want to connect right away either and takes 5+ tries. Is it better than nothing? Yes. Is the quality top notch? No. But it's still better than spending thousands of dollars to completely redo your dash. (Note: 9/10 places I called about the GROM unit never even heard of it. Some were adamant about anything working for my car, 06 M45)
Good Luck

See that's my problem I do not want to mess with my dash, I talked to a couple of places and they all told me that they don't like dealing with bose systems. looks like I will just make some mp3 cd's and keep it moving lol. those cd's hold all those songs. I have a friend that says he can do it, he is really good but it is not what he does for a living, just a hobby, and I don't want to pay a lot of money just to be able to stream from my phone.
