txt messages read from iphone 4
is it possible to do that for 2011 328i? or just the 2012?
I installed "BMW Connected" to my iphone 4 but it wont connect to my car. each time i go to check connection it says connection fail. my phone is connected to the USB and its charging on the iphone screen so i know its connected. and it makes sounds on the speakers when i lock and unlock the screen is there any app that will work? thanks in advance |

For some odd reason the BMW cable doesn't work with the combox...you have to use the apple cable...however, text would still not work with the iphone. Waiting on iOS 6.0

Apple hasn't supported the needed protocol but I understand that IOS 6 which is due out in the fall supports the whole BMW office with email and text including reading out to you.

I am running it now, and l get email & SMS on my iDrive, can view while stationery or play while driving.
The first thing to happen is you have to update your Blutooth firmware in your CIC, you can download it from BMW here, put it on a USB Stick formated with Fat32, use the USB socket in centre consol, select update in iDrive. http://www.bmw.com/com/en/owners/nav...gion=&country= Then you have to load IOS 6 Beta 2 into your iPhone. Last, it only works with iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 does not support MAP.

Are you getting emails? ALso, do you have BMW Connected, if you do then that mybe the reason why you are getting messages with the iPhone 4. What I was saying is if you don't have BMW Apps or Connected Drive then the 4S with IOS 6 will give you mail & messages on iDrive.

I just updated to IOS 6 Beta 4 to test this out with no luck (iPhone 4). I have a CIC retrofit with bluetooth enabled, but don't have BMW Apps or Combox retrofit. Are these needed for text messages, I thought it was just emails that you needed it for?

You need a combox to read messages/sms.

All this MAP stuff only applies to the F30 model and up, correct? I have a 2009 335 LCI, with the harddrive iDrive, and I hear I am pretty much out of luck because my iDrive isnt the version with BMW Office or whatever?
