Can you recap the steps, once again? Assume I want to use BMW Live, which is free, right? As well as Google A-Z and full browser.
At this point, I have an iPhone 4, paired with the car for BT (phone only), and also use the Media Cradle for Plugin. I'm still unclear on how to set the iPhone4 for Bluetooth data tethering.

Hi Sam...
assuming that you got BMW Live from forum vendor BimmerTech (it is not available from factory in the USA),
and that you are paying for the Hotspot plan thru your cell provider, the steps are:
- pair iPhone to car
- enable Data Transfer via Bluetooth in your iDrive: iDrive > Telephone > Configure Phone > Data Transfer via Bluetooth > ON
- enable Hotspot in your iPhone: Settings > Personal Hotspot > ON (in my Verizon iPhone WiFi has to be enabled as well, although the phone itself does not state that it is required for Hotspot to work)
- go to iDrive > ConnectedDrive > BMW Online > OK
That should make your iPhone to tether Internet data to the Combox and you will be connected to BMW Live.
These steps are also explained in detail by BimmerTech with purchase.
