E60 535d Iphone & software?

Right i've serached high and low for answers to these two questions. Google didnt work out for me this time, so im turning to the higher source that is mkivsupra.net :D

 

Basically, my dads got a 56 plate 535d (what a beast!!) that we want to connect an iphone too for mp3's etc. My brother in law in US has a 328i that has a bmw optional craddle in the arm rest for his ipod. he can then control it through his idrive.

 

It appears BMW uk dont do this. Thats what the dealer told us anyway. we have the cradle and a blanking plate, but no adaptor for the iphone? Does anyone know how to get around this? we have the full multimedia pack with the aux input but you cant change tracks with the idrive this way.

 

Also, does anyone know what adaptor and software i need to connect the car to my laptop? I hear bmw have a lot of settings that need to be enabled and they charge for this. Mainly we want the mirrors to drop down when we put it into reverse and then to fold in when we arm the alarm. im sure theres other stuff that we could do too, if i could figure out how to get into the brains of it :)

 

Im sure someone on here can point me in the right direction :D

Dension is the answer to your needs.

 

You need the Gateway 500 and blue tooth module.

 

Since I'm a independent BMW specialist, i am an authorised dealer for Dension. I can update your I Drive software if need be, also enable/disable extra features, folding mirrors, etc

well i'll be blown - i never knew you did that :blink:

 

Can you drop me a pm with pricing for the denison gear please?

 

Also, regarding the folding mirrors etc, i want to have a play and see what i can do. I've got hold of INPA, any pointers as to where to get the cable from? once i cock it up i'll drop the car off for you to put right :D
