You must not have the combox fitted to yours because mine ,which was on the same reg could stream spotify via bluetooth and had no issues working with Android via USB to play music.
Yeah you are correct, it has pretty much everything else ticked, found a very decent workaround with a product called tune2air, which seems to do everything the combox does/did for £50 as opposed to £500
It's the only bit I'm not keen on, but the options were this or Melbourne Metallic Red and with myself being of the ginger variety it would just be a clash
and of all reds around on cars, I really think it's one of the worst available.They are different lengths
although the angle does make them worse

Been an very interesting few weeks with the car, did a performance driving course at Millbrook and went to the Nurburgring.
The course was fantastic and really gave me a feel for how the car performs at high speeds and in limit handelling situations, the car performed flawlessly nice and flat on the high speed bowl doing 140 comfortably in the wet. Brakes were very strong we used the 1 mile straight to brake from 90 mph+ to practive threshold braking and ABS brake and avoid. Then we used the skidpan and inner handling circuit, the car really hides its weight well and gives you a lot of feedback through the wheel however if you do push it too much in MDM mode or with it off all together it does bite! Facilities at Millbrook are great and Aston Martin do some customer days there so we saw some nice cars driven the way they were designed to in a safe environment, there were also some buses being tested on the connecting roads so added an extra element when going between tracks. No pictures allowed in Millbook but got a lap recorded on the M Timer!
In Germany is where the car really comes into its own so comfortable on the Autobahn, I got the chance to take the car to its limiter and it did not feel strained at all. Visited the BMW museum and factory in Munich and saw some iconic cars in their 100 years of BMW exibit. They also had a great selection of M road and racing cars.
Then it was onto the legendary Nurburgring there we participated in a road tour around the track these roads were designed by the same person so were great to drive the car kept up with lighter cars on the tour and took everything in its stride. Unfortunately the weather turned as soon as the touristfaren started and they closed the track due to the extreme conditions so we only got a taxi lap around the actual track.
We also visted the Pistenklaus at the Tiergarden hotel its owned by the family of Sabine Schmitz and is full of memorbilia and photos, its got such and atmosphere and the food is great.

need some help!
car went in to BMW for the power steering pump to be replaced and now my radio is muted when the car starts and my passenger mirror no longer dips to help reversing.
i've scoured the settings and cannot find how to put ether of these back on. Car is E92 with iDrive.

Have you spoken to the dealer who did the PS pump fit? They should sort it... Might need to pressure them a bit to get them to agree to it though.
BMW fans.
Does the snap in iPhone holder fit all current models or does it require certain options to be fitted?
Car in question is my dad's 2015 pre lci f31 320d m sport touring.
I don't have access to the car to see if it has the relevant port until the weekend and I think he would like it for fathers day.
P.s. I realise it doesn't add a great deal in functionality but it's a neat installation and he doesn't have a cradle at the moment.
Thanks
