How can I use my steering wheel controls for music apps [E90]
-
Hi All,
So I am trying to think of a way to utilize the steering wheel controls on my 06 330xi for listening to music through my phone. I only have an auxiliary port to plug into the phone, so I guess the cars sound system acts like fancy a headset, but I feel like there should be a way to use the up and down buttons to skip songs on Pandora or other similar music apps.
Has anyone attempted to make this work, or should I just fork out more money and get Sirius XM installed?
I'm new here so let me know if there is any additional info needed that I forgot. The car is completely stock in the sound department as far as I know.
Thanks.

What kind of phone do you have? Could do voice commands & completely eliminate the hands from the equation

Do you have a CD changer?

Phone is Nexus 6P.
No iDrive, just the normal sound system with bluetooth but I can't get it to play music through that. To be fair, I haven't messed with that part of it too much, I'll look into that.
Not sure if all of you meant to post that twice, but yes I have a CD changer lol

You're fucked. Unless you go fully custom theres no way to control apps via the cars controls.

Ah, the birth of a fresh meme

That's what I was afraid of. I guess theoretically I could pick up a dedicated MP3 player and load that thing up with music to leave in the car, I feel like that would work at least.

Probably your best bet, iPod integration is built in. Older iPods are fetching good $$ these days though because of their storage capacities.
