    Congrats!
    If the fiscon bt annoys you just throw it out and install an oem and you'll be fine.
    Note that we need the Wi-Fi capable units, standard 9w7 doesn't work with our steering wheels (speaking from experience).
    The oem bt unit performs flawlessly and has unbeatable sound quality both for calls and streaming.

    I was using A2DP today for google maps and that worked quite well, I could listen to the radio and the google maps instructions would cut in over the top of it.

    Bought a 30 pin to lightning adapter today, I wasn't expecting much difference between that and the stereo input jack but it was actually quite noticeable. Definitely a much nicer sound through the MDI.

    If it was me, I would just give up on the blue tooth streaming of music through your phone and put all your music on an SD card and slip that in the slot on the head unit. The music sounds heaps better than what came through my phone and I actually have the 9W7 installed in mine. SD cards are really quite cheap so that is my advice for you. Good luck enjoying your ride.

    I considered this but I have seen numerous reports the RNS510 does a pretty average job of reading music off SD cards. File size limitations, a 2048 file limit, slow performance, and I am guessing it probably doesn't have any lossless support which a lot of my music is now.

    I keep an old iPod Classic in the MDI hatch above the glovebox that I only ever take out to load new music onto. I tried to use my iPhone but new versions of iOS don't work very well with the current firmware on the RNS 510, they're too new for it.

    I juggle a few sources:
    MDI: 160GB iPod Classic. All music.
    HDD: Music for the kids
    SD: The good stuff. Can be slow to navigate through everything.

    I too have the Fiscon, and am not in love with it...

    Welcome to our R36 world.

    Mine came with the Fiscon too - terrible bit of kit. I went for the Mobridge and works a treat. Proper streaming, decent quality and works far far better than the Fiscon junk - which was probably a dealer fit option when the car was new as mine was and things have come on a lot since then.

    Welcome to nice fuel bills - but what the hell eh. It's fun...

    Cheers guys,

    I too have read not so good things about the SD card so might just stick with plugging the phone into the MDI. Seems to work fine and sounds great. I do have a spare SD card at home so might give it a whirl just to see.

    Fiscon works ok for phonecalls and google maps so I'm happy with that, just wont use it for music!

    Did a 250km run up the hume hwy yesterday morning and was quietly pleasantly surprised by the fuel economy.

    I don't have any SD card issues at all and the speed seems fine. Whenever I manually select a song it pretty much starts straight away but I have the RCD510 not the RNS so whether that makes a difference, I don't know seeing as though it is handling nav stuff as well. I think the formatting of the SD card matters too. Don't quote me on this but I think it has to be Fat32 or something like that from memory. You'll work out pretty quickly if it doesn't work. I went the wrong way when I formatted my SD card for the first time and then I searched on this forum and found out the correct formatting, and away she went. I would just throw few songs on the card and compare it to the streaming through the MDI and you'll soon see if there is any difference and you can then choose which way you would like to go. Good luck.

    Yeah I use the SDCard as well.
    Have a 32GB card in there full of music, have never had any issues with it.
