Bluetooth on newer G Models

Hi guys, based on my previous post you may know already that I am in the market for a 2010-2012 G550.

What are your experiences with the bluetooth functionality? How is it with your phones? And more importantly, is bluetooth audio an option? One of the things I love most about my current car is that when I hop in, it will start playing music or podcasts from my phone without it having to be plugged into anything, just via bluetooth.

Should I expect to lose this feature?

Thanks in advance,

Rod

I have a 2011. Bluetooth only works for making/reciveing phone calls. It does not support BT audio. You can however purchase the add-on media interface plus module, this will allow you have bluetooth streaming audio from your cell phone.
