You can also add an AMI interface (Notorious has one mounted in the cubby to the right of the steering column, which acts as a useful place to plug your phone in for charging/music) and I would definitely spec the bluetooth module for the OEM integration (doesn't do bluetooth streaming, unless the specs have changed with newer modules, which they might have)
I never found the lack of directions in the DIS bothered me that much, but maybe the member on here who has figured out CAN messages on the D3 instrument cluster could figure out why it doesn't work and knock up a suitable device to convert the signal?

I'm guessing you mean the RNS-E 2010?

It would be a big shame if streaming couldn't be achieved as I am a Spotify man and currently enjoy BT streaming to my Dension. That's an option I'd have to explore.
I didn't know what an AMI was so Googled it and found this:

I guess this is what you mean. It does suggest the possibility of wireless music playback so perhaps some hope there.
