Android 4.4 KitKat supports Bluetooth MAP profile

What this means is that we can now read emails and texts on the iDrive.

My only question is how long it takes to show the message in iDrive after you've received it. I've tried it on my Nexus 4, with the engine off, and after two minutes I still couldn't see my new text. Is there a way you can force message sync?

I updated my phone to Kitkat and MAP does not work with my car either. My really old Moto Atrix worked with messaging with my old E46 but wouldn't hold an audio call!

I have JB 4.1.2 on my old Moto Razr XT910 and it works for both text messages and emails. Sync is immediate, but I noticed some misses, occasionally. It works as long as the CIC is up and running (engine can be off). My issue is with the HTML email messages - I only see the HTML source. Plain text messages are fine.

Not sure if it matters, but I have the BMW Apps (which I believe were designed around Apple though).
