Is there a fix for reading non english song information?

yalag · 11-12-2009, 03:25 PM

My m3 connects to my iphone perfectly, only problem is it doesn't read anything but english. All the asian information is shown as "?????". Is there a fix for this?

Only Asia BMW can display BIG-5 Character. If you install Asia M-Drive system, BMW canada will void the car's warrantly due to BMW's North America standard.

doesnt matter, you can have a $1million car and it wont display it...we occupy only so much of the population here...

Most aftermarket car audio gear sold in North America doesn't support it either. Its an industry wide issue not just BMW or their OEM supplier.
