I found this:

Yes, I like the console mount used with the tilt swivel holder. |

With the console mount, the cable would simply dangle out-of-sight between the seat and center console when not connected to your phone. I figure this is an easy way to save $40 or so on the holder... Also, I think that mount you listed will not work on your vehicle as it looks like it is only compatible with an older 5 series. You should use the one I linked in the previous post above, which is definitely compatible with the 2012 E92 M3. |

I'm more so referring to when stopped at notoriously long traffic lights or a 100+ car freight train - definitely not when driving . In actuality, I've found myself reaching for my phone less since getting my first BMW because I enjoy the driving experience so much I don't want anything to detract from it.

Also, playing via BT Audio enables you to pass the phone around the car and let others choose the playlist. And since BT is such a battery suck, having a holder/mount that can easily charge the phone is nice. Will do with a link posted here. |

Help set me straight on all this cause I am pretty frustrated at this point.
1. What is the point/advantage of the cradle? 2. Is there a way to start BMW Apps or Pandora without touching the phone itself? Seems like a pain if it's in the cradle to have to mess with it. 3. Pandora seems to work easily when using through the USB cable but when the phone is in the cradle, I can only get it to work like 1 out of 10 times. 4. Is it possible that I could have the wrong cradle or will it not work at all if it's the wrong one? |

I missed out on bmw apps in my m3 (dec 10 build) and I wanted it for pandroa/slacker radio for some time. Ive been using BT audio to listen to Pandora and Slacker radio. I like slacker radio better because it has better content. However, I recently updated my BT audio profile via the USB port (bmw released an update for the BT in our cars) and while I didnt notice any changes with slacker radio, I DID notice that Pandora NOW SHOWS TRACK AND SONG INFO via BT AUDIO!!! So for me, this is a HUGE win! The process for BMW apps to play Pandora seems like a PITA from what Ive seen. As of right now, when I exit my M3, pandora pauses. When I return it picks up right where it left off! Track up and down work just fine too. So forget the cradle! BT audio man! It works easier than pandora thru bmw apps from what I could see. Good luck!

Thanks for the info.
Can you do the Apps over BT as well or do you need it plugged in for that? I'm still experimenting with the best way to setup the car. I currently have an ipod touch and my iphone both connected. |

Im not sure about APPs as I dont have APPs. I got hosed and didnt get apps in my 2011 m3. Mine was a Dec 2010 build. Ive been trying to get the retrofit for 5 months now, but that Alexshop guy never calls me back when he comes to orange county. And now that I found out that BT audio shows track info, Im over it. Snooze you loose!

So I am still annoyed with the whole Pandora and Apps situation. Got the new cradle and I am having the same results. Doesn't matter if I start the apps before I put the phone in the cradle or not it seems. I am on version 3.1.19 of Pandora, 1.6.1 of BMW Connected and 5.0.1 of iOS5. Does the USB cable do EXACTLY the same thing as the cradle?

No.
"Full Integration of Apps" is a broad term that includes thumbs up/down, etc. for Pandora. |

I would have just gone to the dealer but it requires a two hour drive each way and taking a day off work. |

Probably just have to wait until you need maintenance or have another issue. |
