Depending on the equipment configuration, BMWs come with either Basic Bluetooth (6NH) or Enhanced Bluetooth (6NS). The main difference is that, besides hands-free calling, the Enhanced Bluetooth option enables audio streaming from your phone.
When you enable the Enhanced Bluetooth option in your BMW you’ll get some advanced features like:
Pairing two phones
Connecting iPhone via USB cable
Audio (music) streaming
Audio streaming via BMW’s USB port
Album art covers
Office (SMS, calendar, tasks, notes)
