I read through the thread 'iphone for the 1' and I agree with much of the praise however nobody discusses how the iPhone will function with the iDrive/Nav system in the 1 series. Does anyone know if the system will display contacts in the phone, playlists as well as song being played, etc.

I've seen photos with the iPhone being tucked into the pouch under the armrest, which looks slick, but if you can't access contacts, etc with it in there then it is fairly useless. Currently I use the iPhone (via bluetooth) in my '06 330i. I have several numbers programed for voice dialing and if not I just take the phone and pull up the number from my contacts. It is simple and works well. If the iDrive in the 1 series enhances this I'd go for it, otherwise I will use it mostly as I do now. Thanks for any new insights. - George
