By the way, this is off topic but how much does a new fully loaded F10 550i cost in Switzerland?
Not sure about this...
- with adapter iPod out is dead. Not working due to adapter.
- unclear to me is whether iPod out works on lighting connector itself (and thus BMW "just" needs to introduce a new cradle) From what I read, it doesn't either (no analog = no iPod out), and they promote AirPlay instead (which BMW is not yet supporting). Im afraid that for all BMW owners out there today, iPod out is dead if you switch to iphone5, Cradle or no cradle, and BMW needs to find other ways to do this, if at all, which probably won't be upgrade-able easily...?

So: is this an adapter thing, or a lighting connector thing?

550i here in Switzerland is about 100k chf, excl options. Add 15k options? Www.bmw.ch.
