Do you need BMW Assist to be able to pair/use a Blackberry phone with the X6 idrive system ?

What do you need to be able to use and ipod thru the cars idrive system?

Any help would be appreciated....

BMW bundles the Assist option with the Bluetooth option. Functionality wise, you do NOT need to have BMW assist to pair your phone with the idrive system, however due to the way BMW packages the different options (at least in the USA and in Canada), you need to take or pay for the Assist option/package to get the Bluetooth option!

You can use your ipod/iphone with a standard USB cable and you will be able to access the mp3 files on your ipod/iphone, however if you want full integration with the idrive, you will need the Y cable that should be included with your 6FL option (comes standard in the USA and in Canada for the 09 X6 models).

6FL is BMW's option code for the USB Audio integration. Basically it's the USB port in the center console that lets you connect either an ipod, iphone, mp3 player, USB stick or even a small USB HDD (although BMW does NOT officially support or suggest that you connect a HDD to the USB port!).
