iphone 4 and apps... I hate having to randomly open the armrest to look at it in the docking station when I'm on a long road trip to see who I need to call...

Yes - you can! It is the setting that you need to enable on your iPhone - under settings/bluetooth, go into Devices, click on right blue arrow for your BMW XXXXX connection, and enable "Show Notifications". When text messages arrive, you will see the envelop icon, and can read the message under Telephone/Messages menu.

Thank you. I think all of these distractions from the road in front of you are the work of the devil (especially from a brand that used to promote active safety), so didn't much care that I did not have the functionality in my 2011 with iP5 - figured I had the wrong software version, wrong model year, or wrong combination of options - but it is nice to know!

iOS apps from Audible, Glympse, Rhapsody and TuneIn will be updated soon to support BMW apps

Start playing your iTunes in the X5 by going to external sources and then choosing your iPhone. While it is playing exit back to the home screen or whatever screen your Pandora app is on your phone. Then open Pandora(do nothing with the idrive) and press play(in the app on your phone) whatever is playing in the X5 should now be replaced with whatever you chose in the Pandora app.

Doesnt work on my 2010 and iPhone 5... no sound is coming out...:dunno:
