new 550i w/ iphone 4 cradle
Just took delivery this morning of a new 2011 BMW 550i - carbon black on oyster/black. I love it - had a 2008 550i same color exterior with black inside but bought it used and it was missing a number of key options so I bit the bullet and ordered a new one back on 2/28.
I had specified the HUD and Smart Phone integration when I ordered and it came with the new extended dash display and color HUD - cool. Amazingly, after reading all the trials with smart phone plug-in modules, I walked by the parts department and they had it in stock - said they just got them yesterday. Snapped it in and all is working great. The BMW Apps option wasn't available when I ordered mine but I don't really need that functionality anyway. I did a lot of lurking on this forum before ordering and while waiting and greatly appreciate the advice, discussion and shared wisdom! I'll post pictures tomorrow.... |

Note that there are THREE different iPhone 4 adapters...
Basic Music Media (this is the one which has been unavailable and needed for full 6NR capabilities)

thanks - I wasn't aware of that. He said they had been waiting for them and expected them in July but they came in early so I assumed it was the media one. Since I don't have 6NR I guess it doesn't matter.

No snap-in cradle comes with the car. You have to obtain through the Parts dept. for your specific model phone, and they're about $200.

Thanks! I really like the combination of oyster and carbon black. And yes, the windows are tinted already - the smart phone adaptor was $266.49 and was part number 84-21-2-218-390.

I'll ask my service rep - the sales rep didn't even understand the hud was color. The extended dash display did get added (SWA) to the order but it stayed 6NF on the smart phone kit.
BTW, I snapped a picture of the adaptor - if it's the media one, then they are shipping because the parts guy said it just came in Friday. |

I have an iPhone 4 cradle since a few months. It is an original BMW part. Works like a charm. However, I noticed that when making phone calls for long periods, bluetooth and wifi switched on and simultaneously charging, the iPhone gets hot, very hot. In fact it gets so hot that I fear for a CPU meltdown. I'll have to get that checked soon.
Anyone else noticed this phenomenon?

Is it confirmed with certainty that the correct part # is 84-21-2-218-390 for the cradle for the iPhone 4? I'm about to order one and don't want to order the wrong part - the parts guy at my dealership (in Canada) says he can see that this part is called "snap on adapter" but cannot see any additional information.

Absolutely gorgeous. In my wife's e70, the oyster/black combo has all black except the seats - so the entire dash is black, which I prefer. That's the only thing keeping me from going oyster/black in the F10. Decisions, decisions...
Cheers! |
