Thumbs up Mog Music Service - Very (!) Good

For those that have the BMW Apps feature I'd suggest you check out the $10/Month Mog service.

Basically anything you'd want to listen to you can find, the integration into my '13 X3 35 is very good, and the sound quality is far better that Satellite or Pandora (both of which pretty much suck).

I'd never heard of it until I saw that it was a feature of BMW Apps. Also, for those that have the Awesome Sonos home system for music streaming, your Mog account works there too.

Just wanted to pass this on...(I don't work for them, honest!).

I just installed the BMW Apps and only have Web Radio, not MOG. I'm in the US. Is there something I have to do to get MOG?

Go to mog.com and sign up. I've been using it in my X3 for a few months now. Well worth the $10/month, in my opinion.

That and install it on your iPhone.

+1000. I had never heard of MOG prior to getting my X3. I had gotten BMW Apps for Pandora. I still use Pandora on occasion, but MOG blows it out of the water. The sound quality is superior, it is more customizable, and it gives the ability to pick whatever music you want at anytime. The iPad app is also slicker than any other streaming service ( I haven't tried Spotify's app). the only problem is that it isn't free. I do think it gives me my 10 bucks worth of value each month. And let's face it, if you can afford a BMW, you can afford this.
I would recommend everyone try it out for the free month. I am sure you won't be disappointed.
If you have Sonos, that's even more of a reason to get it with more value added for no more money.

Mog is an online music service. If you don't have an unlimited data plan you might want to think twice about using it.

MOG QUESTION:
Does anyone know if you can skip songs on Mog using the steering wheel controls?

w/o BMW apps you cannot skip from the steering wheel controls or the buttons on the center console. I think you can with BMW apps but am not able to test that.

Streaming music takes a lot less data than you might think. If you're using it all day at work or something, might have a problem, but just during commute hasn't been a big deal.

I have the BMW Apps...I can't figure out skipping from the steering wheel. I've gotten songs to show up on the console display (sometimes), but can't seem to skip for return.

Thanks

When you spin the thumb wheel, do you see a song name in the middle and triangle shaped arrows above and below for forward and back? If so, select and click those. If they don't show up I'd guess you have to use the track forward and back buttons on the center console.

I'm thinking that it doesn't work for Apps, I see it for music collection or if I'm using music off my iPhone.

Thanks
