It is partially compatible. I have an iPhone 5 and on my (factory ) EBT I get text messages... Though, not emails or calendar.

Go to office-messages. Click right and turn on extra Bluetooth settings.
Either that or set up Bluetooth in the audio menu. Again push the iDrive right to access. Do you get voice control also? If so, just say messages... Messages only display when a new one comes in. Icon in top right of screen. On your iPhone, go to notifications and turn everything on. I have it set to: Alerts and 10 items in the notification centre...

I don't think i have voice control though, i've pressed the button on steering wheel but it does nothing. I thought maybe it only works on pro nav, do you have it on your non nav? |

I've got voice control. But on a non-navigation car it's a tad limited...
But, it at least saves ranching through the iDrive for each menu or function. Apparently the BMW lady in the dashboard will read the message out also. Though I've never remembered to try. Just read it off the iDrive screen. I probably only say things like 'Journey Computer' or 'Messages' often. Finding specific iPhone audio tracks doesn't seem to work and the steering wheel roller only works if you've set playback off in certain ways. I need to spend some time playing with it...

My voice control is very good actually and it's funny when Mrs. BMW reads out a text message! - depending on content of course |

The description of 6NS is "Convenience telephony with extended smartphone connectivity", 6NK says "Connection, Bluetooth and USB devices". The basic 6NH says "Hands-free facility with USB interface" |

I have now managed to activate basic voice recognition, which is just like my E90 had it appears, just to dial numbers or call entries which have been manually saved by saying the persons name to store it. Might try 6NS just in case, but i highly doubt it will work! |
