Iatacs,

Thanks for the input. I did indeed download the Conncected App from the App Store. I also purchased the BMW Media Snap-In Adapter as well. The first Snap-In was clearly faulty as it kept dropping the connection w/ my iPhone every few minutes and then reestablishing, dropping again, etc...

I've tried running the "Self-Diagnosis" within the Connected App via both the Snap-In adapter and the White Apple USB cord, and everytime I get the message "Connection with Vehicle Failed"... None of those steps help...and I can't "go to ConnectedDrive" as that option isn't listed within my iDrive menu.

It's almost as if I have a bad Combox or connection so that anything ConnectedDrive related is not being recognized.

Thanks again.
