Replying to: sls1 (May 14, 2007 3:27 pm) The only way I know how is to look at options on your cell phone and select "activate handset" That works for me on 08 550i with Blackberry 8900.

Replying to: ownerof525xi (Oct 06, 2006 8:04 am) In terms of the bluetooth, not all phones hooked up do everything 100%. Many or most phones call receive calls and that kinda stuff, but not all of them will copy phonebook entries. My samsung doesn't copy the phonebook. If your phone does copy the phonebook, voice activation should work with it. I don't believe the Nav system is needed to make voice activation work, I wouldn't think so.

Replying to: galama (Apr 06, 2009 7:32 am) For anyone thinking that the IDRIVE system is difficult or not that good. I disagree. I have a 2009 BMW 535 X and it is amazing, it uploads all your addresses if you use a blackberry and the Ipod hookup will upload all your song titles etc. It is so easy to use and I am not all that technical, I still do not know how to download a ring tone to my Blackberry Pearl if that gives you an idea. The IDRIVE surpassed all expectations. It blows away the so called "technology package" in my 2008 Acura MDX.
#26 of 29 iPhone 3GS issue with 528 by alaskan_otter Jul 08, 2009 (8:14 am)
Hi. Anyone try to connect the newest iPhone yet? My old 3G worked flawlessly with my 2008 528 sedan.   The 3Gs phone will not.   Any clue how to make it recognize it? Replies to this message: ddwe60 (Jul 14, 2009 7:39 am) carnaught (Jul 14, 2009 10:55 am)

Replying to: alaskan_otter (Jul 08, 2009 8:14 am) Apparently the 3.0 software is not yet compatible with iDrive. The phone/bluetooth works in my 2008 528 but the itunes portion does not integrate. Replies to this message: carnaught (Jul 14, 2009 10:55 am)

Replying to: ddwe60 (Jul 14, 2009 7:39 am) Apparently the 3.0 software is not yet compatible with iDrive.   The 3.0 software does indeed work with my 535's iDrive. I have it installed on my 3G iPhone though so I can't comment on the 3Gs iPhone.
#29 of 29 2010 BMW Nav/Video Override by pspradley Nov 05, 2009 (11:20 am)
Does anyone know how to override the video feature in the new BMW? You can play a DVD when in park, but I want to enable it to play while driving for my 3 year old granddaughter.
