How dio you get Siri to work in the car? I have my iPhone in the centre console connecting using the media adapter / USB.

Just the usual way, I've got the phone in a mount which clips to the vents and connects through bluetooth. Long press the home button and Siri comes through the car speakers.

You may be able to code Siri Eyes Free which would allow you to long press the voice command button on the steering wheel to get Siri.

Question

Hi - just got a 2015 328i yesterday and am having trouble setting up Office with my iPhone 6. Followed the directions in the first post of this thread but am not seeing the Show Notifications option in my bluetooth settings for BMS. The options I have are:
Forget this device
Sync contacts
Phone favorites
Phone recents
All contacts

Any idea why I don't the option to Show Notifications? I'm assuming there's no way to get Office functionality without it.

Thanks!

I believe the "show notifications" option is dynamic in that the phone is able to determine whether or not notifications can be sent via bluetooth (it's a protocol called Message Access Profile). If the bluetooth connection is not supporting MAP then the phone does not display the "show notifications" option.

It looks like something isn't fully configured somewhere, make sure you can run this procedure:

Prepare iDrive
Pair up your iPhone, then in iDrive go to Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > (highlight your phone) > Press the Option button (or scroll right) > Configure Bluetooth, make sure Office is ticked.

Also, do you have Enhanced Bluetooth (option 6NS), think you need that for mobile office also.

You know you can use connected drive to connect to the Internet to get your emails... You don't even need your phone in the car!
I can get both my personal yahoo emails and my work emails which is on a corporate gmail system. Takes 30 secs to connect but the read out function works really well!

I would just check which subscription that is, Tengocity is talking about the Office Functionality within the ConnectDrive Service in Idrive, you may have received a notification that your Internet Browser subscription has ended and you need to renew it, this is becasue the Internet Browser Service is only supposed to last for 1 year from the car being new whilst the ConnectDrive subscription is 3 years

Long press of the voice command button does bring up Siri on mine.
