Its a pitty we cannot get a diagram of the two different base plates!

Better question... why don't we get 6NF option here in Australia...does it contravene some local telco or government regulation... ??

If you have 6FL (USB) in the centre compartment
Also have Premium Sound & Business Nav
6 stacker in glovebox

But you don't have 6NF (smartphone intergration) which is the base plate that allows the iPhone to be used thru the cradle as phone and iPod all in one.

Can you by buying the correct base plate (6NF) & matching Iphone G3 cradle install this, I mean take out the current base plate and plug in the new one which would give you smartphone intergration as you have all the other items already installed?

Does anyone in the States have the part number for this 6NF base plate?

Hi Jamesboags,

What we are trying to establish is that the 6NF is actually a different base plate that the cradle pushes into. This base plate hooks into the USB port that is in the centre compartment (6FL) thus allowing the iPod part of the iPhone to use the cradle for music.

That's why there is two different iPhone cradles available to suit the two types of base plates. What we need is a diagram and or part numbers of these two different base plates not the cradle parts as we know those part numbers.

Smartphone intergration (6NF) is only a $150 option so I believe getting this base plate could be a easy retro-fit!

Fair enough..Hopefully when I order my next X5 6NF is available..!!! Seems BMW continually Screw up options across countries to make it difficult...
