I think you can code up to 4 phones with the EBT (6NS) switched on. I have set up mine and the wife's Iphone no problem. It also lists in the Idrive settings what emails it is transferring. I have four email accounts on my Blackberry (Business and Pleasure) and brings them all through into the Idrive. It lists four accounts. Same applies for the Mrs Emails too. The only negative side of this is puts them all together unless you filter the emails. Dickie |

Hi from a new member of the community from North of France... Yes I know, no bad jokes right :-). I got my X5 F15 a few weeks ago and I love the Connected Drive even though a few things were not as perfect as I thought they would be...
A big thanks to d4springer, I now have through Office my SMS and emails after one month of playing around and asking my dealer what to do to make this work. Got the same answer as many of you here regarding compatibility etc... from the Connected Drive team in France. Only funny point is that SMS and email arrive in the same "box", the SMS one, nothing shows in the second box with the @ in it... Any idea ? In any case great forum and great solution to start. Next topic will be Siri and dictate answers... That I am sure will be another story. Enjoy the WE a few hours in advance !!! |

Apologies in advance in adding to this thread but I could really do with your help! Some history first!......back in 2011 I was subcontracted to BMW(UK) on a six days job and was using one of their 740iL's which had all the toys on it (obviously!) including full Pro Nav and all the rest of the media equipment. My old Sony Ericsson W595i mobile Bluetoothed fine, transferred all my phone contacts (including contact images where assigned) and displayed and read out my text messages so when I took delivery of my 435i last november with Pro Nav and full multi-media, enhanced Bluetooth, Internet in fact everything except TV function I was really excited at the prospect of the connectivity with my mobile and BMW's Connected Drive 'world'....however!!!...since I am now using an iPhone 4 (which is running ios 7 software thanks to a software upgrade from Apple they told me was to fix a security issue with the lockscreen which I thought was a good idea but got ios 7 as well which I neither wanted nor asked for), all I get now is basic telephony and my contacts list as for anything else....nothing/nada/nichts/nyet and as we say up here, bloody nowt else! I've followed this and other threads on this subject closely and with great interest and I know there are 'issues' with BMW and Apple i-phones, my dealer being frustrated about this as much as I am...well actually I'm more at the stage of pretty p***ed off to be fair. I've followed your extensive excellent instructions above to the letter but still get sod all other than telephony and contacts list....HELP!....am I doing something wrong or should I be doing something else or is it an i-phone 4 thing? I've tried, for comparison purposes, repeating your instructions whilst pairing my wife's i-phone 4S (also running ios 7 software ) and that doesn't bloody work either! Whilst I'm not too fussy about having e-mails available through the i-drive, although it would be nice if it did, I really do miss being able to see my text messages....any advice/help you could offer? |

If you have followed my suggestions it should work, I'm sure I covered everything, however I would be suspicious of the IOS7 update. If you have recently upgrade your phone then I would start by resetting things, firstly delete the pairing in Idrive, then on your iPhone go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings (bear in mind this will also reset your phones wifi so you will need to re-connect to any wifi networks). Once that's done go back and re-pair with the car making sure to follow the guidance about showing notiifcations in the iPhone and making sure Office is ticked under the iDrive Configure Bluetooth settings. Disclaimer: It's Saturday night and I've had a couple of beers/rums, therefore this advice might be inaccurate!

Just a quick post for those of you out there who maybe have an i-phone 4 and have been following this thread. With grateful thanks to 'd4springer' and his detailed information I now have this working on my i-drive.
My i-phone 4 is running IOS 7 software and it all started to come together once I had done a re-set on the Network connections of my phone and then configured Bluetooth when I next paired the phone to the car. Yet another 'Forum Result' for sure!!! |

Well I'd given up trying to get e-m (EBT/pro/iPhone 5). Texts been coming through fine though, get a little envelope icon top right, so not too bad and I've come to accept the situation.
Anyway, yesterday up pops the little envelope icon. Oh, a text I thought, but no, it was an e-m. I could open it and everything. My first ever e-m. Woohoo. None have come through since though, it appears to have been a one off. A tantalising glimpse into what might be possible if only it worked properly.

Well mine is not working with my iPhone 5S. Went to BMW, both product Genius gUys could not set up any of my email accounts. Also, no text messages. They've contacted the BMW Connecteddrive team. I give up! Want my money back!

Maybe I spoke too soon with my post a few days ago! Despite d4springers excellent instructions I seem to have 'lost' text messages again and still yet to see e-mails!......Bugger!......Going to try again starting from scratch and if that doesn't work then it may be a case of...oh well!...ho hum!...SOD IT !

It seems there is an update in August for the iPhone 5S to get working with connected drive.

I know this does not solve iPhone issues but HTC ONE on android works great, the Bluetooth map protocol is compatible, see mails as they arrive, read and replay via controller or voice using dragon apart from the calendar.
