2021 BMW X3 M40i  [10.00]
Looking at getting a X3, was lurking in these forums and stumbled across this thread.

From what I know, BMW uses QNX as the multicore operating system base (so do a bunch of other car makers). QNX is now a subsidiary of RIM (BlackBerry). Therefore, the system should probably support all different smartphones.

iphone/ipod uses a non standard connector, and thus BMW makes people pay extra to get that extra connector. This also shows up in the options, thus making people think that it is somehow an Apple system. Other smartphones can simply use the standard connector.
