What tech features will I get with my UK 320d and pro sat nav package?
Hi, I just ordered an f30 320d m sport with the proffessional sat nav package from the UK. I was just wandering what features I would get as the web site and dealer weren't that informative. Below is the configuration specs for my car and below that some questions. Thanks.
BMW 320d M Sport Saloon in Estoril Blue with the following options: * * * *Automatic Gearbox * * * *Multi-function controls for s'wheel * * * *Run-flat tyres * * * *M Sport braking system * * * *Alarm system (Thatcham 1) * * * *Windscreen with grey shade band * * * *Sun protection glass * * * *Floor mats, velour * * * *First Aid Kit & Triangle * * * *Rear-view mirror, auto dimming * * * *Elec Fr Seats + Driver Memory * * * *Seat heating, front * * * *Armrest, rear centre * * * *Park Distance Control (PDC), rear * * * *Rain sensor with auto. headlight activation * * * *Automatic Air Conditioning * * * *Cruise control with brake function * * * *Extended Interior Light Package * * * *12V power sockets * * * *Passenger airbag deactivation, front * * * *DAB digital radio * * * *M Sport Package * * * * * * * *Aluminium Hexagon interior trim * * * * * * * *18" M light alloy wheels Star-spoke style 400 M with mixed tyres * * * * * * * *Black Dakota leather * * * * * * * *Estoril Blue * * * * * * * *M Sport suspension * * * * * * * *Sport seats, front * * * * * * * *Headlining, Anthracite * * * * * * * *M Steering Wheel * * * * * * * *Foglights, front * * * * * * * *Estoril Blue interior trim finisher * * * * * * * *Exterior trim, High-gloss Shadowline * * * * * * * *M aerodynamic bodystyling * * * *Media package - BMW Professional Multimedia * * * * * * * *Black panel display, full * * * * * * * *BMW Assist * * * * * * * *Enhanced Bluetooth functionality incl.

If so is the for phone and nav or for other things as well? 4) What do the 2 grades of docking cable add if anything? 5) Any cool features I may not be aware of? Thanks. |

Not sure. I've only used the standard Apple USB-30pin cable to attach my iPod (i.e. I've not used a Y-cable), but the standard cable seems to give me all the control I need over the iPod. EDIT - ah you said cradle/ In that case I don't know as I've not gone for a cradle (yet). Yeah... your neighbours will be jealous! If you have an iPhone, check out the BMW Connected Drive and BMW Remote apps in the app store.

According to p194 in the UK Owners Handbook - The video image is shown on the front control display up to a speed of approximately 3 km/h, 2 mph. In some countries, it is only shown with the parking brake engaged or in gear position P.
There is however a thread about (re)coding the car to overcome this limitation - http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=696777 . There is also a thread about 'DVDinmotion' - http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=670237 - and it looks like all 2012 BMW models are supported.
