I'm using bluetooth now, as whenever I plug my iPhone in using the USD, I kept forgetting my phone when I leave...

Yes Bluetooth connection is more convenient but I find that the audio quality is not as good as the USB connection. I am not sure if this is just me.

Coz bluetooth is prone to interference. Even your body can block the signal in certain conditions.

The most economical and hassle free for me is to load the songs into a USB via USB port. Just load and leave it there.... I don't have an issue becoz I only load abt 14 GB of songs, might consider putting in an iPod classic when I want to load more than a hundred GB of songs in the car. I leave the iPhone out of this equation.

I don't have the time to make my own playlist and save into a USB drive. So, I rely on direct music streaming using 3G network. I love MOG and Aupeo. Good stuffs.

I am not sure about android. I am using iphone. The Aupeo app will appear in the ConnectedDrive/BMW App/Aupeo. You need to first run the Aupeo app on your phone before it will appear in your iDrive. Good luck

You can get Aupeo playing, but not via the iDrive unfortunately. I load Aupeo via my phone, and it plays over the car speakers. It's theoretically the same as using the iDrive, but you can't toggle the song being played via the iDrive, have to use the phone instead.

With iphone I have no problem connecting iDrive to Aupeo and able to select songs from iDrive seamlessly. No issue.
