Bummed! The new iPhone4 doesn't work with our cradles

The BMW cradle that goes in the center under the armrest will simply not fit the new iPhone4! They had to change it just enough, oh man. Now BMW has to reengineer the iPhone plugin cradle

phone crade

I'd like to take my cradle out and open up the storage space.
But it looks like it's modular with the box liner.
Any suggestions?

Were you able to pair your iPhone 4 with your car?

Why can companies design products that don't cause obsolescence of all the stuff that goes with it? I saw an environmentalist discuss planned obsolescence of material and I think she was right. It only done just to make you by more stuff and keep the economy moving.

For the moment I have iphone 3gs. Will the iphone 4g work in my E70, can it be paired?
I have also a snap-in adaptor for my 3gs but I guess this won't work with the 4g.
Is there already a 4g snap-in adaptor or when will this become available?

Thx.

iPhone 4 paired perfectly

Just purchased a new 2011 X5 and my iPhone 4 paired perfectly. My only frustration is how ridiculously cumbersome it is to place a call to a contact on my iPhone. I miss the days in my 2007 X5 when from any screen I could say "Dial Sally Bess mobile" and the call was placed.

I totally agree. I also miss that ease when I had my 07 335i e92. Doesn't make sense. I wonder if at all there's an easier way to place a call via voice commands.

Push the VOICE command button and say "CALL SALLY BESS"

if SHE is in your contacts then X5 will respond

"CALL SALLY BESS"?

YOu can anwer "YES" or give you a list of the number associated with SALLY
