Newbie X5 Owner

[devm69]

Hi All, I have always had Beemers , Multiple 5's, 3;s etc got a 530i still atm and picked up a 2010 3.0d xdrive m sport x5 the other day. Got a few questions hope you dont mind. I am sure all the answers are buried in these threads and I should RTFM but thought I would ask anyway.

1: can you stream music from iPhone/android using Bluetooth with current model- suspect no although car says it has option to play music via Bluetooth but never recognizes anything I connect up. presume I need a 2rd party adapter like - https://bmwstream2air.com/products/b...nd-mini-cooper as model I have doesn't support a2dp ?
2: rear passenger door speaker is cracked, speaker itself is fine but speaker cover is damaged, cant find anywhere to buy spare parts for this unless I go to a breaker- anyone know where to get like for like parts for speaker covers ?
3: Car documentation when I bought lost ( yeah I know I should have been careful ) , is there anywhere to buy bmw manuals for this model ? especially interested in sound system and how to import music onto hard disk , not sure size etc of disk either due to no manual .... doh

That's my starter for 10 till I find any other gotchas, noticed passenger door mirror doesn't tilt up, does move left and right so think motor maybe ?

anyway- thanks up front for any replies help appreciated

1 - pretty certain you need combox to stream music via Bluetooth. Not sure about Euro spec vehicles but in North America combox started with builds sometime in 2010 I thought. Run your VIN through a decoder and look for the option below -

S6VCA Control for Combox

2 - I typically use www.realoem.com to find replacement part #'s, then order from one of the vendors here. I quickly filtered on a 2010 3.0d and it looks like they sell the speaker covers separate. Check the link below - item #13. I would double check for yourself too before ordering anything, and make sure you get the right color.

3 - not sure about buying a hard copy, maybe try Google. You should definitely be able to download an electronic copy.
