iPhone 5 question
Hi everyone,
Sorry this might be a redundant question. I just got my iPhone 5 and it seems to connect with iDrive for phone calls only through bluetooth but not for music. Even through the new cable. Is there a new software update for iDrive I need to download for it to work with iOS 6. What am I doing wrong.

My iPhone 5 works with Lightening Cable or Bluetooth for music. But it has to be one or the other. Better onscreen graphics with the cable as you get album art and iDrive controls the iPhone more completely.

iPhone 5 question
Guys,
How can I get the messages/imessages to be displayed through iDrive. Does it happen over Bluetooth or through the USB cable. Thanks a lot

After I did it once, any time a new text comes in, I see the message envelope in the nav display.

There are numerous settings that have to be just-right in order for this to work. You need to read the threads that cover this topic extensively in the Audio subforum. BJ |

When you are connected, it doesn't show old texts, only brand new ones that you've received while sync'd in the car. You need to read the threads that cover this topic extensively in the Audio subforum. BJ |

you have to make sure that your bluetooth software is up to date. And then you should probably see it. That is what I did. but you just gotta play around to get it to work.

I updated the software to latest version from the website, thing is, that software update does not mention iOS 6, only iOS 5.

Thanks for the info BJ and I apologize for the excessive posts guys buy the iPhone 5 thread wasn't really helpful. I have the BMW assist with Bluetooth and USB option. Can someone please post the # of latest software you downloaded to get this to work. I went through all the clicks and steps posted and still can't get this messages to work.
My software version is Multimedia MX-003.005.004 Telephone TX-003.005.005 Appreciate it.

The dinosaur was the most essential on the list, I knew I should have put it in red and put a dozen exclamation marks behind it
