You're not the first person to mention this USB drive. I never got one - not a big deal, since I assume you can just use any USB drive to update the software. But damnit! It's the principle, I want my flash drive to BMW branded

Yea I have gotten 3 in the last year. The nice thing about them they are set to link you straight to BMW. Nice for updates. I've always gotten some sort of Gift from BMW after each car. Last one was an artist rendition of my AH3- and the USB.

I haven't gotten anything! It's been 2 months since I've purchased my car I got one package that says Thank you from BMW, and it was just a stinking benefits card.

1) Your car does not have the hardware to support enhanced USB. No software update will give you what you want.
2) There will be no OEM iPhone 5 Y cable, just because there is no analog output on the iPhone 5. The Lighting to 31-pin connector adapter via the OEM Y cable is your only solution. And again: the hardware to support enhanced USB (digital control and audio) is not present in your car. Hopefully this will be enough to end this discussion. |

I have gone back to my dealership and made him sit with me and configure my phone and he admitted that iphone5 doesn't work. Both the dealer and the head of the parts department confirmed there is an iphone5 cable coming after I spat the dummy We're all in different countries with different cars, they are never the same even as new. I'm just trying to find the best fit for my iPhone for music in my 3 series in Australia. This is getting way too serious... Peace xx |

Let me be blunt: stop talking like you know what you are talking about.
You don't. Let me also repeat what your own dealer told you: Quote:
In other words, the functionality that you have now with the OEM cable + Apple adapter will be exactly the same functionality that you will have with an iPhone 5 OEM Y adapter cable. Only if BMW really decides to create such a cable. I do not think that they will do it, but OK if they do. This is the third time that this has been explained to you and you are determined to not get it. Your car is not equipped with the hardware to do what you want it to do. The same hardware that is available worldwide. You are not really reading what has been posted in here. Out... Quote:

On a side note, no doubt Technic is going to pee his pants again, I've never received my USB either. Technic, please go and unleash your inappropriate use of bold on another post. You aren't reading what's actually going on here. |

However, I DID get 3 hand written thank you cards from my CA on 3 consecutive days for purchasing the vehicle. I would have rather gotten the free gifts. That, along with several other items have given me proof that just a Technics says, sometimes the Dealerships are clueless. I was told my car had ACC with automatic braking which was a major reason I purchased it. They even confirmed it as they showed me the features. Could never get it to work. Only 2 months later a different dealership said I didn't have it and its not available on the F30. Last edited by Kabrich; 07-29-2013 at 09:08 PM.. |

Do you talk to your children this way, mom?
I said it last week and I'll say it again: You need to listen to the experts in this forum (like Technic) who know what they're talking about instead of refusing to believe the truth. Your car isn't equipped to peel carrots; stop asking us when a carrot peeler will be made available. Savvy? |

aussie needs to chill out there--you have people on this forum with MUCH more info/experience than you will likely ever have trying to help you out--might be wise to listen/read, instead of always trying to get into a conflict. not sure, but IMO seems like you're the one that needs the "action"..not the others. |

Wonder how a select group gets the flash drives? Maybe BMW knows their cars will need a lot of updates, so they send flash drives to them. |
