iPhone 3G Snap in adaptor probs???

JZ69 · 01-19-2009, 12:02 PM

Hi all,
just collected a 2009 330d M Sport LCI with new iDrive. I also got the new iPhone 3g Snap in adaptor for the armrest.

I have watched the video on Youtube of the american guy demonstrating the iPhone Music through this snap in adaptor, but I can't get mine to work.

The car connects through the snap in adaptor as my iPhones name comes up on the idrive display, but under CD/Multimedia, it doesn't register in the 'External' devices where it is meant to.

Does anybody have any idea what I am doing wrong?

Cheers,

JZ

Did you order you car with the 6NF Smartphone Integration option?

If you did, then you probably got the wrong snap-in adapter, there is one for the 6NF equipped cars, and one for the 6FL (iPod/USB) cars.

If you didn't get the 6NF Smartphone option, you might be out of luck.

Could you give a link to that youtube video please?

Youtube link

THe car is an ex demo from a UK dealer and whilst it was sold to me as an all singing all dancing, it seems that the 6NF option (£70 from the factory) was not fitted. I am inquiring as to whether or not 6NF can be retrofitted. Hopefully it will be a simple wiring loom with a couple of connectors, but I fear it won't be available or accessable.

I wait with baited breath.
