Question

[font=Times New Roman]Hi-
About to order a 2007 550i fully loaded. Does anyone have any pictures of what the Motorola Raz cradle looks like installed in the center arm rest please?

I test drove a 550i and the dealer paired both my Raz and MDA from T-mobile without a problem within a few minutes. The phonebooks downloaded seamlessly.

Last question, does any one know how the iPOD connects to the '07? I know there is a connection in the glove box but are there any special cables required or is it already pre-wired (just connect the iPOD)??
Can it be controlled via the steering wheel buttons (change songs, voice controlled, etc...)?

Thanks!!!

There are two iPod connections available. The first one is the AUX plug in the back of the center arm rest (no steering wheel controls). You can also get the MOST interface that mounts behind the glove box in place of the CD Changer that will let you control the iPod from the steering wheel and will give song information on the NAV/OBC screen.
