  3. Browser - The CIC uses some flavor of Firefox 3.5, and there is no support for Flash, Java, or Silverlight, etc. (e.g. No NFL.com football game animation )
  4. Input - iDrive Controller scrolling through the alphabet one character at a time to enter URL's or fill in User Name or Password fields is painful.
  5. Loosing Google - Send-To functionality, which is part of BMW Assist.

Frankly, IMHO, it sucks. :
Shawn what did you do to get Internet working over BT? Live I have but not Internet. Thanks.
