Newbie Confused with iPhone compatability

Mark White · 03-02-2015, 02:44 PM

Hey all,
Firstly.... Apologies, I'm guessing this has been covered many times before!

I've bought a 2011 320d ED which I pick up this coming weekend and have been looking into the conectivity options of my iPhone (5s currently).
I'm not sure if I can just use apple lead in the usb slot, need a Y cable or if I can purchase a media snap in cradle to get extra features on the larger sat nav screen.

I know it has professional nav with bluetooth, under the armrest there's space for a snap in adaptor, a usb and aux in sockets.

I've decoded the VIN and found this spec - please advise me what my options are and what integration I can get!!

White Apple cable will work for you

Thanks very much for the reply!! Thats great news

Would the snap in adaptor give me any more usability over the cable or just be same but with a nice dock for the phone to sit in?

Technic is the man to answer that one

Well I picked the car up and was surprised to find... No usb under arm rest 😖
I'd looked at a few different e90's that day so must have confused it with the one that had the smaller nav.

So with the options above from my spec if I get one of these combox things would it be a fairly easy fit or would it need to be coded etc?
