No ... and infact I'm amazed how quick the system works from sending the address from the google maps and them being received by the car. Works great.

I just wish google would update google maps on the iphone to allow the address to be sent to the car. Now that would be awesome, and allow you to completely avoid having to try and find a POI using idrive.

Yes, unfortunately, we're out of luck. It's available in "2008 X6 produced 4/08 or later or any 2009 BMW Assist-equipped BMW (except Z4 and X3)".

But I do have BMW Assist in my car, I believe you should also because you have the technology pkg. I guess need to explore those features a bit more, I haven't really looked into the BMW assist features.

I may have misled you. Its the address that gets sent to the car, rather than the "directions". Still good though.
