1st world problems!
Seriously, though, if someone from outside this board read this and read "The iPhone 5 I plan to get won't work in my BMW", they'd just shake their head. |

I do not bother to read sports-forums that spews blah blah blah about NFL replacement referees; or an organic-growing-forum that expounds on the benefits of using horse dung over cow dung for fertilizer; or the aircraft owner's forum about a new DME-based avionics for a four-seater prop. In an "enthusiast-oriented" website, one will find...uh, enthusiasts. Anyhow, not knocking your opinion. .

I just use an old iPod touch for my music
iPhone 5 will certainly work with Bluetooth for phone calls

I just preordered mine this morning (64gb black). $500 bucks upgrade on my second line so I don't lose unlimited data on my line. Then again, I can't jailbreak It when it comes in, so I can't tether anyway - talk about a catch 22.
I'll be testing it fully to see what works and what doesn't. I don't see why an extension that plugs into the snap in and converts the 30 pin to the 8pin lightning connector wouldn't work. If anyone is looking for a factory unlocked Verizon 4S 64gb white, let me know! |

I don't post here a lot, but this stood out to me so I wanted to share my findings. I'm sure other BMW owners will be surprised when they learn that their brand new shiny iPhone does not work in the same manner as their previous phone. Last edited by davewolfs; 09-19-2012 at 02:27 PM.. |

I ordered a 5 to upgrade my ooooold 3GS. It will be here friday so I'll see how it works. I was planning to keep the 3GS attached to my M3 permanently for music anyway. Although I should really figure out the HDD...
I am certainly not an Apple fan in general but all in all the iPhone 5 is going to be the shiz. |

All the fear, uncertainty, and doubt around here. I've already posted in various other threads about this, but if you buy either of the Lightning adapters, everything will work EXCEPT video playback and iPod Out, aka PlugIn, which is the native iPod video interface that you can put up on iDrive. But both of those features require that you have BMW Apps and the Media cradle. Obviously the 5 won't fit in the 4/4S Media cradle, but people were thinking that if you buy the extension cord-style Lightning adapter, you'd be able to attach the 5 to the dock connector in the Media cradle and get it. Well, you won't. But as others have said, that function is pretty useless anyway. If it's important to you, wait for the 5 Media cradle -- you'll likely be waiting a while given that the 4 cradle took about 7 months to be released (then immediately recalled and not reissued again for 3 more months), and the 5 cradle will likely be more expensive since it will have to include a video DAC because the iPhone 5 only outputs digital video and iDrive only accepts analog.
Everything else, including Bluetooth calls, Bluetooth audio (with Combox), and the regular USB music connectivity will work just FINE, people. Settle down. And for the micro-USB lovers out there, yes it might be more convenient, but the dock connector was able to support a whole lot more than would have been enabled by micro-USB, including analog video out (composite, S-video, and component), HDMI out, amped analog audio, and line-level analog audio to name a few. I'm sure that tradition will carry on with Lightning as Apple develops future products. Could they have included a microUSB connector as an alternative? Sure, but anyone who knows Apple knows that they don't implement things with functional overlaps. Not saying that that makes micro-USB automatically worse, but it's not as if Apple decided to just reshape a micro-USB port without adding any functions purely to be proprietary.

The only issue I've heard about is Pandora with BMW Apps not working on the new iDrive system that's in the F10 M5. Evidently that's a Pandora issue and they're already on it.

Not as bad as FM (maybe HD Radio), but yes I agree it's not as good as being wired in.
