Updating software w/ NO USB

I recently picked up an '06 330i, and my S7 refuses to connect to Bluetooth. Gets me all the way to punching in the pin number, tells me it's paired and waiting to connect, but never does. During my search I found someone talk about updating their car kit software. I've found the updated files but I don't have a usb to attach to, only aux in the center armrest. How else can you update without a usb?

Haha, this is what happens when I try to write fast. Sorry, it's an '06 330i (correcting now). Where could I find info about updating through the obd port. I've found plenty using the usb, but nothing on updating like that.
