Well things are moving on ...

The BMW connected drive app is now available on the iTunes store. In order for you to properly use it you'll need a new option .... 6NR ... known as apps.

The app offers internet radio (although all the BBC radio channels are missing which is odd), twitter and facebook integrations through the idrive interface.

This will be for cars from 3/2011 and I believe this will be required for the forthcoming iPod out feature as well
