Anyone else able to see the keyboard video? Every time I click the large link, I end up with the activation video (again.)
The downloadable version of the keyboard video works, and I also have it here:

Yeah, those links seem to be incorrect...I know the site was redesigned for the launch.

I was just wondering if they had the links screwed up or if something funky was happening with my cache. It's pretty surprising that they would have bad links on their site, isn't it?

Yeah, I ended up dowloading the file earlier once I saw the name of the .mov file contained the word "keyboard".

It's already fixed...with the number of times they have redesigned the site and added to it for the launch, I'm not surprised. ;-) Whenever that happens with a big vendor, it's usually fixed pretty quickly.

The LCI's ipod kit is very very different. We don't know yet about the older iPod interface.
car work perfectly together. BMW's June 29th announcement is confusing on the date issue only. The
phone works perfectly on MOST USB interface enabled cars (2nd generation ipod support). I have not
checked phone signal if the iphone is left in the glovebox.

I just tried an iphone in my 2006 550 with dealer installed MOST USB ipod interface. The iphone and
car work perfectly together. BMW's June 29th announcement is confusing on the date issue only. The

I believe you plugged the iphone into the 2nd gen. MOST cable, which charges the phone and plays music, but I did it once and I will never do it again. It is, as the error message on the iphone reads "incompatible".

I believe you may be a bit confused (as I was). The 1st gen. apple/ipod kit plugs up in the glove and displays no song or playlist names. The 2nd gen MOST ipod kit also plugs in glove but playlists, song titles etc... appear on idrive (this is what I have in my 550 9/06 production). The newer kit is not ipod specific. Its a USB interface in the center console that has two jacks. Apparently you buy a $50 cord to go from the two jacks (one being a computer type usb port) to an ipod connector. I have heard that these two jacks CANNOT BE RETROFITTED even to post 3/07 models. Its factory installed or you're out of luck. I would hope that BMW will sell a retrofit kit. Although it would be a lot of work, I'm gathering my car would be eligible and I would have it installed, no doubt.

you would not use this functioning interface in your car. Many will not or can not upgrade to the USB connectors you describe and
the MOST interface works perfectly. There is a brief warning message but so what. There are posts that say the phone works "somewhat" but they are not saying what is working or not working. Everything worked for me as before with my Ipod/Nano.

You are correct as I was referring to the MOST interface 2nd generation and nothing USB. However, I don't understand why
