iphone 6/6+ cradle

Anybody seen this:

Part number: 84212365786

Genuine BMW Universal Adapters for Apple iPhone 6/6+ and Android Devices for vehicles with SA 6NF and 6NS specific to NBT vehicles produced from 3/2013 and on. These include many MY2013 SA 6NF 6NR optioned vehicles and most MY2014 forward SA 6NF / 6NS vehicles. Features include:

Charging of the device
Secure and stable docking location
Improved reception by connecting to the vehicles external antenna
Integrated USB connection which negates the need for a separate audio cable
Access to the music tracks stored on the Smartphone
Display of "cover art". With "cover art", the applicable song's original album cover will be displayed on the central information display.
For vehicles equipped w/ BMW Apps (SA 6NR), this adapter allows the full functionality of the option, including 'video playback' and the 'plugin' feature.

Not sure if it is compatible with CIC, but my car has 6NF and 6NR...

It'll probably go for almost $300. Just spend $75 on a Tune2Air and open the ashtray door and place your phone against the door and the indent at the bottom

I bought this. It runs around $225.

If you're hoping your iPhone 6 Plus will fit, the answer is NO. The center armrest area is too small for the 6 Plus to sit in the cradle normally. The 6 will definitely fit fine. With the 6 Plus your phone will fit diagonally in the armrest, and you won't be able to use the clip to hold the phone in place.

Charging and BMW Apps works fine with this cradle. Haven't played with anything else yet.

If you have a 6 Plus, you're probably better off just using a lightning cable in the armrest. The cradle doesn't help you organize in there any better than without. Worth a closer look if you have the 6.

What annoys me most with these as there is no slack for any case. Therefore you have to take the phone out.
Considering what they cost is it too much to ask BMW for some smart design to take a decent case as a minimum?

Hmmm....

Will this work on an 09 with ability to play music? Thanks in advance.

Why not just wire up the video to iPhone without the snap in adapter if you don't want to buy one? Just run an fbas cable to back of CIC (pair of wire) and make it up to an RCA female and buy the iPhone cable with video and audio RCA outputs? Combine that with video in motion and your done.
