BMW launches ‘Apps’ feature & ‘BMW Connected’ iPhone app
 

I just saw this at EXCLUSIVE: BMW launches ‘Apps’ feature & ‘BMW Connected’ iPhone app. I wonder how new the idrive needs to be to work with this app. Does anyone know?

So with this people can get pandora radio, facebook and twitter etc. on the i-drive while driving? This is cool technology and all but may be a step in the wrong direction as far as driver distractions go. Whats worse? texting while driving or facebook on the dash!

theres an alterior motive.. if BMW makes drivers distracted, the drivers crash more cars, therefore more people will need to buy new cars! TSK TSK TSK BMW :yikes: hahaha

Brett Favre would like a sexting feature.

though it's at the correct height, I don't think that's what the rear-view camera is meant for...

Ok. I do not have the Snap in adaptor for my Iphone 4. How do I get this to work in my x5 ?

I read on engadget that existing x5 owners are shit outta luck with this...only new builds starting in march will have this cool feature, what else is new. I just wanted the pandora interface :(

I guess when you pay $65k, it's too much to ask for a simple software update to be released for you. :rolleyes:

The article lists two hardware items you will need to order with your new vehicle (after March). Doesn't sound anything like a software update.

definitely not just software...
