Phone mount

Taxdr1965 · 11-12-2016, 01:21 AM

Anyone have a pic of the phone mount they are using?

Also can u actually put an app in connect drive through your phone so you can see it on idrive screen?

Dealer is useless for tech. If so do you do it through Bluetooth or USB connection?

FYI I have an android phone

I think phone mount is only made for Apple knick knacks .I have Sony XPERIA XZ ,I am trying to retrieve data using bluetooth connection but it doesn't work . I plug in the phone via usb cord that must make sense since that's a plug in hybrid

I use the BMW iPhone cradle. Only some apps that are specifically set up to work with the BMW system (those that can be found for download within the BMW Connected app), like Spotify, Audibe, M Lap Timer, etc. will display and be controlled through iDrive.

I have a radar trap warning app that I'd love to display on the car's screen, because I can't see what it says when the phone is in the cradle inside the armrest. But there seems to be no way. So, more often that not, I leave the phone out and hang it up on the fresh air vents.
