If anybody knows a trick to get email and sms to work, please let me know (preferable by PM).
I wouldn't bother. It's too much effort for too little return.

In fact, this is one of the most frustrating, infuriating integrations I have ever used.

Today, I finally got iOS6 to send new, incoming texts to my MY12 F30. Beats me how I actually got it to work. Email doesn't work -- just texts.

When it connects, existing texts aren't transferred. New texts "disappear" after they are read the next time you connect the car and phone.

Along with the fact that the car insists on turning off Bluetooth connectivity when you connect via USB to use other apps, it makes me wonder why I spent so much money on the apps functionality and converted from Android to iOS.
