Problems with iPhone cradle
I have a 10/11 build E90 with BMW Apps and recently purchased a cradle off one of the eBay sellers (part #84-21-2-218-390) and I'm not getting a solid connection with it, it continually connects and disconnects. I've since gotten a replacement and have tried it with two phones, an iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s, both have the same results.
What's the deal, are these things just flaky and should I only use a USB cable? |

do u have the updated version with the fan? I got the new one with the fan from tischer bmw back in oct2011 and while I've never had a problem with connection or audio, VERY occasionally i won't be able to play videos and need to eject the entire cradle and plug it back in. I'd keep swapping it until you find one that works consistently.. the original ones were pretty finicky.

I have a thread going on this as well. I sent mine in for warranty so we'll see what they come back with.

I bought one and promptly took it back. The phone got really hot and the apps worked only half the time. The cradle that i bought was like $250 and had the fan. It looks like you may have to start the app then put it in your cradle...forget it..just use the usb connection and save the $250.
