Hello everyone, new member here. I've introduced myself in the welcome area and now i'm after a little advice. I have just picked up my 2012 320d sport(which I love) but when I plug my iPhone 6 using the USB port it just says not supported. I know I can buy a jack plug but that's not good enough for me, so was wondering if there are any products available out there to enable me to plug in my iPhone 6 and yet be able to control track selection through idrive. is there any such accessories to do this that I can buy or is the idrive in my car too old and will never be able to support my iPhone?

thanks  Scott

Hi Scott....welcome to the Forum

Sorry I can't help you with your question...not too 'au fait' with iPhones and the like.
Hopefully someone will have the answer for you though

Good to have you onboard

Cheers,    Trevor

I did read somewhere (sorry old bloke syndrome and can't remember where) that you have to enable streaming in the settings some how I believe it's separate setting for A2DP. Try a You tube search that should find something I am sure.

Sorry I cant be of more help mine has old tech (a bit of wire with a plug on the end)

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew I normally disconnect the Neg lead only, some folks disconnect both a few even say disconnect both and touch them together. Goes without saying both sensor plugs need to be checked and a squirt of contact cleaner applied never hurts 😅 Dave

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.
