Enhanced Bluetooth (ZEB)

Enhanced Bluetooth is part of the premium tier. I'm not 100% what it gives you. Does anyone know?

This is what I've heard:
-ability to connect 2 phones
-speaker on passenger side
-album artwork
-ability to play music from phone wirelessly

Is that all true? Did anyone not get it?

Thought this was all standard? Our X5 has all that without coding anything.

Perhaps you have the "premium tier"?

I didn't get it because I was not interested in HUD or wireless charging.

I just want to know if I'll be able to play music off my phone wirelessly (not using CarPlay)

I can confirm you can. I don't have premium.

So as far as o can tell, the only thing that enhanced Bluetooth adds is functionality of the speaker over the passengers head
