Question Trunk Lid Sensor? Entertainment Connection?

I heard about the new feature included in Comfort Access which allows you to open trunk lid by putting your feet under the rear bumper. I understand that there is a motion sensor under the rear bumper in order to achieve this feature.
But is it possible to install the sensor for a 2011 model with comfort access?

Also, my model is fitted with navigation as well as a hardrive which you can copy music on to it. However I bought a dock which works with iPhone4 and fitted onto the phone dock, the phone charges but I cannot see the phone on iDrive. Unlike my X6, there is no USB port in the middle box but a USB port in the glove box. Is there a problem with my car?

Hello

1) No, I have not seen any kits taht allow you to fit it to a older model

2) You get more than 1 dock ( BMW calls them "Snap in adapters") for the Iphone4. Not all allow it to send music to the car. What is the part number of the one you got?

The number should be on the back. Something like "84 21 2 199 389"

Thanks for replying.

1. Is it possible that BMW will come up with some sort of additional kit in order to make up to it's early customers with extra charge?

2. I tried in one of the BMW 4S, I didn't get to record the part number but it is a iPhone4 dock with 'Media' printed on the bottom of the dock. However it does not work apart from charging the phone. No music, nor telephone function.

If you have to stand that close, you'd better beware of being whacked on the chin as the lid springs open

I believe your car does not have the option 6NF "Extended connectivity of the music player in the mobile phone"

So it cannot play music off the phone, even with the correct dock

However I can play music via Bluetooth connection but no album cover is shown. Is this feature available as an add-on to install now?
