Well, after spending months figuring out how to to code BMW Live and Internet over Bluetooth, after I finally got it working, I turned it all back off due to the following:
- No Internet-In-Motion
- Speed - One, I am on a Verizon 3G Corporate Blackberry as they do not offer a 4G Blackberry. Two, the CPU in the CIC is just plain slow. Maybe with a 4G phone and the new upgraded HU_NBT Head Unit, the speed will be better.
- Browser - The CIC uses some flavor of Firefox 3.5, and there is no support for Flash, Java, or Silverlight, etc. (e.g. No NFL.com football game animation )
- Input - iDrive Controller scrolling through the alphabet one character at a time to enter URL's or fill in User Name or Password fields is painful.
- Loosing Google - Send-To functionality, which is part of BMW Assist.
Frankly, IMHO, it sucks.
