Yesterday my wife and I picked up her new X5 (2009) and was informed by the salesman that we can go to google maps and upload directions to the vehicles navigation system. When I got home I tried it and it worked.When I tried to do this with my 08 650 it didn't work. Afrer doing reserch I found out that it was a new feature offered to all 2009 vehicles. I was hoping there was a way to retro fit other vehicles. There they go again pissing us off. Something needs to be done.

I'll be interested in leaning how many times your wife (or you) actually use this feature.
Don't sweat it, it's not that big of a deal...

My Ride: Your girlfriend
It would be a nice feature to have. I'm assuming the '08 models don't have data storage and the '09s do?
I'm thinking it would be a substantially amount of $$$ to retrofit.

:MyInfo* helps you to reach your destination faster, more conveniently and safely. Search for a business location or a street address from the comfort of your home, office or internet-connected cellular phone or laptop using Google Maps?. With MyInfo, you can then transfer the results and even a personal note to your BMW with a click of your mouse.
Once inside the vehicle, the destination will appear under the BMW Assist menu option. You can transfer it to your BMW Navigation system (if so equipped) for immediate route guidance and can call the destination via your Bluetooth? linked phone. At the touch of a menu option, you?re on your way.
You can even share MyInfo with your family, friends and colleagues and have them send destinations to you while you?re on the road!
*Available on BMW Assist-equipped and activated 2008 and later X6, produced 4/08 and later, and all BMW Assist-equipped and activated 2009 and later models, except X3.
