I do not regain control over the iPod until I unplug the 6FL cable. A pita for sure.

Interesting. Maybe I'll try it again. I've been trying to use my Sirius sat. radio app, with no luck, but I might play with it some more and see. If I can't control the app thru the radio, come to think of it, the only advantage of having the cable plugged in would be just to charge it at the same time I guess.

Otherwise, if one can't switch back and forth b/w listening to an app and the iPod without disconnecting the cable first anyway, I might as well just use an AUX cable for now and save myself the headache. And if I want to eventually listen to the iPod app, I'll use the 6FL cable.

The one other beef I have with using the 6FL cable anyway is that when you use your phone instead of an iPod, since the cable is so short, you have to leave your phone under the armrest, where you can't see it!

I have a 2011 with Idrive built after September 2010. My iphone 4 integrates flawlessly with this system. Via bluetooth or the usb cable you can control songs by skipping to the next song using the controls on the steering wheel even playing through pandora. Although, i love the usb connection for my ipod because you can see the albums appear on idrive and information like song / artist etc.

You have a PN? Because I can't order it either...

Duncanp64 · 12-20-2010, 03:16 PM

so nobody got their Iphone 4 snap in adapter yet?

Duncanp64 · 12-20-2010, 03:20 PM

well... this is what I found on another BMW forum...

"I spoke with the manufacturer, Peiker Acustic (www.peiker.com) and the BMW adapter for the iPhone 4 will begin production in November and should be available from BMW in January. "

VP Electricity · 12-20-2010, 05:41 PM

I gave my dealer that PN in the other thread. He said it shows up as good but with no description - I had to tell him what it was. I ordered it for like $225? Mine hasn't arrived yet.

when i ordered my car it was included with my request when they built it. So I essentially already paid for it and i'm anxious to use it.
