I have the office option on the idrive but I'm buggered if I can get it to work.

My BB was changed yesterday 8900 and I now have more functionality (names of album and track through audio) but sill I can only get my address book up. If anyone knows how to get it working it would be appreciated

I don't see why not... Office does not have anything to do with the Nav portion, only with Bluetooth (SA633). Unless BMW is forcing the Office to be only active if you buy the Nav option, which I seriously doubt it.

If you go to BMW owners experience there is a list of phones copatible with 535 However not all phones have all functions The only BB I saw with email capability was Pearl 3G 9100 Suprised 4G iPhone wasnt

I rang BMW today who said.........


USA yes

Europe Yes

UK............... Nope

Apparently there is a software update on the way which will add the functionality. If anyone gets it working please please let me know

I have a F10 530d (Nov10 production) with BT and Nav Pro, I can use email (multiple accounts) and receive and read SMS (with Alert new SMS incoming) with a paired BT Motorola V9, MP3 music via BT too.
Same positive experience with a Sony Ericsson W995.

I hope in a near future it will be possible a full Internet Navigation on iDrive 2 screen with a suitable 3g Phone.

I visited my dealer today, hopeless

I've tried pairing with a crappy old nokia and I get some of the functionality (tasks, calendar, notepad), no luck with the Iphone 3 or BB8900 apart from contacts and mp3s

My car has no NAV just the basic setup

has anyone had any luck with a bb?
