Combox + 6NR = Internet in your car!

[Kris@modmynav]

Hello guys,

As a sponsor on xoutpost.com, just wanted to share some neat features we can add on your X5

What is the "Combox"?

Combox controller is the integration between TCU, ULF and iPod/iPhone interface, and allow you to have following features :

• Bluetooth integration
• Bluetooth Audio
• Album Art Covers
• Office menu
• Internet
• BMW Live - News, Weather, Google Local Search, Panoramio, Street View, Local applications, Web browser

BMW announced that all new vehicles from March 2011 will come with the new feature called "ConnectedDrive"


ConnectedDrive (6NR) will intergrate your iPhone/iPod features in the BMW iDrive system, and allow you to have following features :

• BMW Apps - Facebook, Twitter, Webradio, Pandora, Calendar and more
• BMW Plugin - changes the iDrive screen to the same look and feel as the iPod function on an iPhone.
  It allows you to take advantage of all the iPod features (Genius, album art, compiling playlists, etc) that are not available via the basic USB connection.
  With future iPhone software updates, new features will also be available in the car. An additional benefit comes in the way of increased interface speed
• Video playback - enables video playback from the iPhone/iPod
• DVD/Video/Plugin-in-motion activation

Any questions?
