iPhone and 3er

JSpira · 06-28-2007, 06:38 PM

The iPhone is fully compatible as a phone for the E9x.

BMW has signed off on it. See http://www.wireless4bmw.com/info/CingularATT_iphone.pdf

Also, here is my article on the iPhone - http://www.collaborationloop.com/ind...2176&Itemid=39

awsome! im gonna get in line tommorow and hope i can get one

Greeney · 06-28-2007, 06:57 PM

What if we want to use it in our most adapter aswell?

truong321 · 06-28-2007, 07:01 PM

my friend didn't want to be on the waiting list, so she paid extra 200 for top of waiting list lol ..... so you can get it asap

scollins · 06-28-2007, 07:11 PM

Jesus, all this over a silly little gadget....

I'd get one in a second if my company would pay for it or support it! Since they just paid for a new ATT Razr (less than a month ago) I don't think this one is in the cards for me yet. But hey, shouldn't we all wait for v2.0 instead? I wonder if it overheats and goes into limp mode......

not sure - read one report that car adapters might be problematic in general and it might take a sw upgrade for the iPhone to fix.

I have no plan to get this phone anytime soon but would this phone be compatible with my E90 (8-05 Build)?

Not possible, first GSM phone not to use a SIM card.

Actually, the iPhone does have a removable SIM card.

It should work although there were some recent reports of software conflicts that prevented car kits from working.

stressdoc · 06-28-2007, 09:28 PM

It would be awesome if you could get the iphone screen emulated on the idrive/nav screen.

flyga3 · 06-28-2007, 10:06 PM

I'll wait for version 1.1!

"It only works with AT&T (formerly Cingular), won't come in models that use Verizon or Sprint and can't use the digital cards (called SIM cards) that would allow it to run on T-Mobile's network"

I get the feeling that the new 7er will have something in that direction, although not necessarily an emulation of the iPhone per se

That only means it can't use T-Mobile's SIM.

Slot (tray) is on top.
