Does "Smartphone Integration" come with everything?

JackClark · 05-21-2010, 09:23 PM

BMW describes it as "For iPhone™ and similar devices, allows access to stored music, can improve signal reception, and recharges the battery."

My 335is is in transit and I expect it in about a month. I ordered it with the Smartphone Integration option, but I still have the impression that I need to purchase a piece for my iPhone 3GS that runs about $170? Is that right? I find all kinds of phone snap-in adapters on the IBM accessories website, but none for the iPhone. Can someone with experience please shed light on this?

Yes, you have to buy the iPhone cradle for 6NF.

IBM accessories? Haha, I think you mean BMW.

And yes you need the snap-in adapter. But make sure you get the one for 6NF or it won't play music, just charge.

IBM... That's what I get for not paying attention to spell check!

The current iPhone USB Snap-in adapter will probably not work in your new car.

I've been told a new adapter will be introduced in the near future. It is for the new E92/E93 models with the "combox". I need one as well for my new E92 320d.

I've got the combox coming from ebay and currently have 6FL option.
Do i need any additional hardware for the combox to work?

This issue will never be straightforward, will it?
