Apple iPhone and BMW info

Seems like the right place for this.

Here is J Spira's article on the iPhone ; http://www.collaborationloop.com/index. ... &Itemid=39 (http://www.collaborationloop.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2176&Itemid=39)

The keyboard works relly well for not being tactile. Recommend watching this short little movie:

And if you have time, take a look at the guided tour and activation videos:

Could be used as an iPod if you have SA6FL USB/iPod interface FROM THE FACTORY. This option has a USB and power jack in the center console - not the glovebox. Into the USB and power jacks plug a cable that has an ipod connector at the other end.

Here is a post that includes some pics of the BMW iDrive interface working with the iPhone.

Here is an update based upon my experiences with the iPhone and a 2006 650i with the MOST iPod adapter installed.

In a nutshell, this is AWESOME.

- The speed at which the iPhone syncs with the iDrive via Bluetooth is 1/50th of my previous phone (Cingular 8125).
- The iPod feature works just fine with the MOST adapter AND it charges the iPhone through this connection.
- There is one issue when you connect the iPhone to the MOST adapter - the phone says that "this device wasn't designed for use with this ....." and wants you to go into "Airplane Mode". DON'T accept this and both the phone and the iPod features will work just fine.

I hope this helps anyone that is on the iPhone bubble. :grin:

Just got my iPhone on Sunday, I don't have MOST on my 2007 650i but I'll be calling my service adviser tomorrow.
Stay tuned for a short review upon installation! :thumb:

Good luck. I hope your :bmw: center has a good tech department. If it doesn't, you're sunk. If it does, :woohoo:
