Enhanced USB/bluetooth

Anyone order this $500 option? If so, impressions?

I did... And I don't think I have ever used any of its features. All the features that I do use come standard (Bluetooth streaming, etc). I would forego it unless you are planning to use the physical snap-in adapter

Awesome to say the least, no need whatsoever to use cables or worry about BMW apps, everything on your phone audio wise to your HUD control, and no loss of sound quality.

the only thing that you get that you cant code is the 2nd microphone to help with bluetooth phone convo's but its not worth $500... like Andrew115 said code it and save the $$.

you don't need 6NS to get Bluetooth streaming. Click on the link on my signature to go to the FAQ thread. the first post has the answer to your question.

I read through the thread, seems people ask but nobody clarifies...

Will the GoPro Camera integration be able to be coded in without the use of the option?

Was told by my SA to not get it. He was right. I can everything I've needed to do without it. Especially if you have an iPhone. You just hold the voice activation button and it'll activate Siri which can pretty much do whatever you want. Send texts, read texts, etc.
