BMW connected drive and APPS.?
Just wondering if there is anything else I can do with this besides the 3 apps of facebook, twitter and web radio? I would love to get video playback is that possible with the bmw apps option that I have?
Also anyone who has this? Does your apps diconnect when you get a text or close out the app to do something else on your phone? seems like the background fetaure is not working with this app. |

Exactly. I have the 6nr.
What is the BMW plug in. And where do I get it. Does thy give me video playback? Do I just need the snap in adapter to get video from my iPhone? What about a DVD? |

Pandora is now available. Just get the latest version from the app store, plug in the iPod cable and start pandora and it will automatically connect. It's really awesome, album art etc. I think new apps will be available soon

You mean pandora the app.., it's not through the BMW connected apps. I think pandora works wirelessly like all the other radio or player apps. But I cant get album art to work wirelessly.

Pandora was just updated it to work with BMW Apps (6NR) - free download at iTunes. It now shows up under the Apps menu when connected via Apple cable or adapter and works very well.

I assume your USB option for existing 6NR cars requires hardware mods you need to physically do?

Mine doesn't show pandora. No updates are available for the apps. Do I need to install pandora on my phone to have it show up under my apps?

Pandora has to be installed on your phone to show up on cars App menu. The BMW Apps version shows artwork and bascially mimics the phone screen on the Nav screen It was just updated a day ago for 6NR enhancements.

BMW PlugIn is the implementation of Apple's "Ipod Out" capability built into iOS4. It facilitates the iPod controls and features on the Nav screen, but does require the optional iPhone Media cradle adapter. Things like genius lists, shuffle,etc. are controlled via iDrive just like on an iPod.

Got the pandora to work also!! Thanks again. I think this is great the integration is seamless and makes it everything so much easier. Only thing I wished is that I didn't have to lock my phone up in the armrest, if a message comes through you wouldnt know. Wish we could see the text message alert on the screen. |

It is still early and hopefully there will be more apps and better integration of the "Office" apps like text, email and calendar. Kind of defeats the purpose if you need to look down at the phone for alerts.

Yes, but there is more functionality with the iPhone plugin.
