ConnectedDrive option missing in iDrive menu
Hi,
Just got my F30 328i Luxury and extremely happy so there is no ConnectedDrive option in iDrive and I got the media snap in adapter but only charging the phone,, I could play musing through iPhone stock cable and showing album art also I can connect multiple iPhones to the car so I guess I got enhanced BT as well.. DO I MISS SOMETHING? Thanks.. |

What options did you get?
I think you need at least 6NL (BMW Assist w/Enhanced Bluetooth & USB). |

Not all countries have ConnectedDrive option under the idrive main menu. If combox telematics (i.e. BMW Assist) or BMW Live is not available in ur local market then it won't appear on the main menu.
BMW Office is another item that's standard in some countries if enhanced BT is specified (regardless of whether nav is fitted or not) & not available in others even if similarly specced. |

U mean iphone plugin? I think u'll need BMW Apps for that & again it's not available in every country. If it's available then it'll be an optional feature. |

I have the media snap in adapter and I've read somewhere it needs 6NL to get the enhanced iPod plugin...
I believe 6NL is enhanced USB and bluetooth and since i have album art displayed using iPhone stock cable and can pair 4 phones then I have it in place.. am I correct? |

So I'm now sure that I have option 6NK in my car and according to some other threads it should be ok with the snap in adapter!!
I dont need apps in general as they are big distraction while driving specially in the crazy streets of cairo So any confirmations that 6NK must work with my media snap in adapter? if this is true then I might have bought a faulty adapter then right? |

Egypt spec cars don't have connected or BMW apps (plugin). Why do you need plugin anyway? I would understand if you were missing the other apps, but plugin is just a different iPod interface. The snap in adaptor allows you to use the integrated antenna, charges the phone and connects to the music on the phone.
