I know you don't get BMW Assist and you don't get the docking cradle.

But if you hook up your iphone in the armrest USB using the proper cable, what can you do through idrive and what can't you do?

According to BMW's website, enhanced bluetooth will strengthen your phone signal by using the roof fin to pick up the cell signal. I don't think you get that if you hook up with the cable.

But as for access to songs and voice control for calling phone contacts, do you get the same functionality with and without enhanced bluetooth?

Thanks.
