You can check full functionality of any smartphone with your BMW at the following website

If email reading is your primary concern

Based on what I have read in this forum:
No iphone works
All blackberries work
some androids work (to find out which android ones, see specs --> need to support full BlueTooth MAP, check forum posts)

What about Outlook Calendar? Does that work with an iPhone or is there zero office functionality?

iPhone does not support protocols to transfer emails, calendar, messages etc to BMW.

To acces iPhone calendar, you can use the BMW Connected app

Naw.. This app only works if you have the "bmwapps" option on the x3...

Sorry. Calendar functionality comes with BMW APPS...

Harv_NC · 05-03-2012, 04:16 PM

OK..here is the dumb question for the day:
Anyway to switch between multiple apps without having to touch the phone?

For example, can I have Mog playing and then switch over to Mobile office to check my calendar?

BTW: Mog is AWESOME, just got it and the sound quality is a huge improvement (320kbs) Vs Pandora (64kbs).

Thanks
