What it is and who it fits
This Bluetooth adapter plugs into the USB and 3.5 AUX sockets of compatible BMW and Mini models to stream audio from a phone or tablet. It is intended for drivers who want wireless music playback without replacing the factory head unit.
The specification that decides fitment
The vehicle must have the S6FLA USB and AUX media ports and must not be equipped with a dashboard navigation screen. Supported models include 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7 Series from 2004 to 2016, X1, X3, X5, X6 from 2006 to 2013, and Mini Cooper R55, R56, R57 from 2007 to 2016.
Who should buy it and who should not
Buyers with a listed vehicle lacking factory navigation who want simple Bluetooth audio streaming will find it suitable. It is not for owners of vehicles with dashboard navigation screens, those needing track information on the car display, steering-wheel track control, simultaneous USB charging while streaming, or a hands-free calling function.
