My understanding is that if you stream you will never get playlists and other features over bluetooth. I have the car you are looking to buy...or should say my wife does If you want to see playlists and other detail on your iPhone 6 you must plug it in to your cars USB port. I don't stream much because I want full control over my phones music. Agree on the Sport Package...I have that and love the look and the adaptive cruise control. What you don't get, a big bummer, is the upgraded sport brakes but you can't have everything you want in life.........

 

You need no stinky bluetooth streaming. If you have an iPhone, just plug it in the USB port and tune in iPod mode and call it a day. Charging at the same time.

I feel good to have 4 wheel traction when I need it. I am pulling way too hard out of corners if no one in front of me. Can't resist the fun. :-)

 

I think he originally said that he was looking to buy an X, so the Sport Package on it is a handful of appearance items (you can install many of them after the fact is you'd like) - not a deal breaker.

However, on the non-X, the Sport package is a must (performance rack, better diff, world class brakes, and the list goes on), and to get Sport, you must have Nav.

I agree that OEM HUDs are hardly competition for a good App, but you also have to remember that in this segment, people expect Nav on the car, so Nav helps resale as well.

If you have USB connectivity, it sounds better than BT streaming (CDs sound much better than both), so don't let streaming alone force the decision.

 

The only reason I got navigation is for Bluetooth, which is a must have because there is no "AUX" input. An added bonus is that the display is a higher quality type (better contrast, resolution) than the one on the non-navigation unit. The navigation feature itself doesn't add much vs. Google Maps.
