I have an iPhone 4S but not the cradle, I just connect over bluetooth, however as it looks like you've paired your phone over bluetooth, try this:
  1. On the iPhone go to Settings
  2. Select Bluetooth
  3. Under (Devices) select the entry for your car, e.g. BMW nnnnn by tapping the little blue arrowhead at the right of the line.
  4. Check that 'Sync Contacts' is set to 'ON' (see pic).

thanks for the reply rob. i have got the contacts set to on. i am getting my contacts in the car, but thats about it. no messages, no email, no internet, no album art, etc. all the connected drive features not working. spoke to the dealer, says i have to bring the car in for some settings will let you guys know what happens.

Ah OK, yes given that a lot of it isn't working then the dealer is your best bet.

My internet works ok (car has to be registered in BMW Connected Drive) and album art works ok too. SMS messages coming up in iDrive works but only some of the time, seems to depend on what mood the car is in! Email messages should appear but I can't get it to work at all.

Good luck, hope the dealer gets you sorted

So do you still need to Bluetooth the phone even if it's in the cradle?
