Not Straightforward!

You either need to go to your dealer and ask to speak to their resident technical whizz for all things phone and cradle related......or spend an hour or so searching this forum. There are many threads because BMW make this so complicated!

There are issues with the iPhone version (3G /4) the iOS version (4 vs 5) the cradle type (there are three different types) the in car Bluetooth software version( as BMW try to keep up with Apple) and as ever, which options you have.

Eg for video- you need the top end adapter (media), the most recent in- car software update (you can check online and download it if you have your vehicle's VIN) if you are running iOS5 on your phone, and you must be stationary! If all these align....it works. So if you have a job or need to spend hours sitting stationary in your car, maybe you are a chauffeur ? It's a great idea! Otherwise I'm struggling to see when I would use it!

But it does work.
