6FL Option Quick Question
 

I'll be getting a new e70 shortly and I'd like to know if you guys have heard of an alternative for the 6FL option. My dealer says it's not available for Latin America and it seems like a waste to not use the idrive while connected to an ipod...
Many thanks

I dont know where are you from but here in Panama I was able to order 6FL

I'm in Nicaragua. Our local dealer gets their cars precisely from Panama, which I think is Bavarian Motors.... Either they are lying a...oles, or the availability just changed!!! Would you be kind enough to tel me where you made that order??
Thanks

Still, if anyone knpws of a viable alternative... Please post & let me know..

I am in Guatemala, and I could not order it either. I guess I can buy the cable in the States and have it installed.

I dont think so, i think it HAS to be factory installed...

i dont think its factory installed .. i think its an accessory ..

My point is I think it has to be pre installed by the factory.... I don't think the dealer can install it as an option, once the car has been delivered...

i think you're wrong .. accessories can installed after the car arrives for example the wood on the steering wheel and the wood selector and if u check bmw usa , in the accessories part , the ipod integration system is listed there as an accessory

There is an accessory option but it is not as good as the 6FL factory fitted option in terms of breadth of functionality. From memory, I think it does give you track names on iDrive etc, but not charge function.

Search the forum, there was a thread ages ago which showed pictures of both options. The accessory one fits in the glove box beside the CD changer.
