iPod/iPhone connectivity
Depending on how I connect an iPod I either get the message 'device not supported' or 'reading' which stays there for an hour. I thought iPod / iDrive connectivity was supposed to be simple.
Also, does anyone have any idea when a snap in cradle for the iPhone4 will be available? |

Cars with the Combox 6VC from about week 36 build will work with just the white apple usb cable.

My 1 series coupe has the snap adapter fitted for a 3GS and up until I upgraded to OS4 it charged my iphone, not anymore. My dealer say's that Apple upgrade and then leave it to BMW to catch up with their idrive software but not to worry as they check my software every service and apply any updates. Basically it's a know problem that they are working on but they need time as Apple are not very forthcoming with answers. |

Finally got around to calling my dealer, BMW Park Lane, who popped a Y Cable in the post "as it's Christmas" and promised to find out Ipod4 cradle availability

Excellent, let us know if the Y cable works? The dealers seem happy to give them away now as they are no longer required on post September build cars.

bmwretrofit.com will be selling a retrofit Combox (6VC) from January to replace the MULF and TCU units in pre September cars but unless you really want the album artwork or bluetooth audio transfer or Office functions then it will be a lot of money for what it will add. I also believe a further software update is due out to provide full compatability of the Combox with the iphone. Current releases ista/p 40.x needed for Combox.
