Apple & BMW (WWDC) [apologies to Jason for duplicate post]
Siri to be integrated into BMW.
See http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=704041 In today's WWDC, it was clear that Apple is working closely with BMW and select car manufacturers to make apps a staple of connected driving. I look forward to a more useful, but less distracting, integration between Apple and BMW. BMW leading the charge: Other Makes: For folks without Navi, built-in turn-by-turn navigation, with integrated Siri and anonymous, real-time, crow-sourced traffic: |

It's still going to be a while before this integration is complete, but maybe in 3 years, there won't be an iDrive as much as a dock for the iPad. If access to the automotive protocols are shared as openly as the apps themselves, then this could get really interesting.

available by mid-2013 (i'm guessing for 2014 model year vehicles) according to BMWNA spokesperson Dave Buckho:
“BMW has been on the forefront of both in-car voice command as well as the integration of smartphones such as the Apple iPhone,” said Dave Buckho, BMWNA spokesperson. |

If the plan is to use the same handsfree button for both Siri and iDrive voice functions, it's not impossible that it could be done via a software update.

One positive iOS 6 update that we won't have to wait 3 years for.
Bluetooth MAP is now supported so iDrive should have access to the iPhone's text messages. |

Not looking for a flame war of any kind but I kind of wish BMW would finally got us that Connected Drive app for Android. Sure, I have a workaround that involves an iPod Touch 4 and that works pretty nice but it would be better to do it just with one device.

Note: Many PM me for links to the software needed to code. Please note that I do not have download links to this software. Your best bet is using the search function in the coding thread |

Just kidding. But I'm sure it's coming down the pipeline. There's no way BMW could ignore such a huge portion of the market. I think at some point every app has to build an Android version. |

BMW makes the coding "difficult" (not for svache) for the average joe, i guess they will treat their apps the same way: hard or inconvenient to jailbreak. |
