iPhone4s media cradle

[GmoneyLI]

I'm sorry I wasted $$ on this thing..

For one.. U can't snap in the phone if it has a case on it... I don't know how anyone has an iPhone without a case lol

Can't find a case tht comes off easy so prying the thing apart all the time is not an option.

I found a dock extender cable (30 pin male-female cable) and it reads my iPhone under cd/multimedia fine but no go on BMW apps or plugin.. Plugin worked once..
I doubt it's the cable case when I did pry the case off and snap it to the cradle directly it still didn't work... Same functionality as with the cable.

BMW apps work if using the USB cable but not the plugin. And honestly the plugin is more important to me then the apps.
The last thing I need is all the retarded Facebook status updates popping up on my car screen or the 48kbps web radio station app lol

Why doesn't this cradle work? Any solutions. I've been reading horror stories about this cradle.

Any info to save me the trip to the dealer is much appreciated.

I use the iphone all the time without a case. It's just a bloody phone. Not the crown jewels. You can't take it with you ....

There have being issues with the cradles. Plugin will not work with just the USB cable. Plugin uses analog video and audio and not passed over USB, and require the cradle. This is documented in the BMW blurb.

The fact your phone doesn't work when snapped into the cradle suggests there are issues. You may have a faulty combox. There appears to be many issues with them. Take it back to the stealer.

Thanks for the info

I'm planning to go to the dealer tomorrow. Hopefully it works once they replace it.

iPhone's are too fragile to not have a case IMO... Seen way to many people crack their screens
