I haven't heard issues with parts of BMW Connected, but it wouldn't surprise me. Supposedly Pandora won't work and it's a Pandora issue that they're aware of and fixing. I've read that there are some BMW Apps-related glitches on the brand new iDrive system introduced on the M5. I ran out and bought the adapter the next day, plugged it in and everything started working. Will plugin ever work though since lightning has no video out from what I read? Is plugin for BMW now DOA forever with iPhone 5?Īre you sure this is accurate? I plugged in my iphone using the USB cable, while it did play music it didn't do much else like ConnectedDrive, Facebook google etc. Plugin would be nice to have but I've never had it anyway so won't miss it maybe as much as somebody who had it and got used to it.
Video playback don't care about as I would never park and watch video especially in an M5 I was pretty worried that everything was not going to work when the new phone came out with lightning connector. You don't get much of a signal boost if any since the iPhone has never included an external antenna connector (leaving induction the only potential source of a boost), PlugIn doesn't work as well with the rest of iDrive and as you say, the native interface is good anyhow, and video playback only works while parked - and who sits in a parked BMW to watch video anyway? I bought it and sold it several months later never having used it except to make sure it worked. But every other aspect of Apps such as Pandora, MOG, and BMW Connected, has always worked over normal USB and will therefore continue to do so with the iPhone 5.ĭon't bother with the cradle. Maybe someday BMW will make a cradle for iPhone 5 and I'll get it for signal boost and appsĮverything will work, INCLUDING Apps, just not the PlugIn and video playback components. I won't miss Apps or video out because I never had it.

As long as I have full phone and music I'm ok. I did buy BMW Apps but don't care if I have to wait for a cradle. So all this will work same as it does on my M3 now, right? So just to clarify if I get an iPhone 5 and use it on my F10 M5 everything will work right now except BMW Apps and video plugin? I have a 2008 M3 right now and really just use the BMW native ipod interface (artists, playlist, songs, etc).
