iPhone 4S Bluetooth Audio Streaming

Does anyone know if it is possible to stream bluetooth audio from an iPhone 4S to an A7? If so, can somebody walk me through how to set up? I've got the hands free phone working just fine, but I'd like to be able to stream music without hooking up the phone with the cable.

I suspect this isn't an available feature, but thought I'd check here.

Congrats on the new car. I use the bluetooth streaming with my Pandora on the iPhone. I don't recall exactly HOW I set it up, but its done via the media button and if I recall, I just poked around with adding a new music device or something like that. Voila! Music started playing. Like iPod and similar devices, the sound quality is mediocre. But the ability to have endless variety offsets that. Have fun!

I have several music apps that I listen in the car.

Once you have the phone linked to the car by bluetooth, then connect to the WiFi by selecting the car wifi on the iPhone menu.
Then select your iPhone on the Source menu on the MMI.
Then start you music app.
This should correct the issue.

NOTE: You have to be streaming the music from the WiFi for this to work.

It works like this:
music from the internet streams from the WiFi to your iPhone and in played through the AMI via bluetooth.

That whole process geeks me out everytme I think about it. Why dont every car do that.....?

I hope this helps
