Hi all -
I apologize in advance for making a new post on this. I HAVE read through many of the stickies and past posts on this topic, so please don't flame me. I just need some clarity. I'm not new to BMW's, but I'm new (again) to E90's and in particular, this year (2010) with iDrive. I had an 2007 e90 328i without iDrive, then sold it and bought a project e46, and then a few days ago purchased this 2010 335i w/ iDrive.
I'm currently using an iPhone 5 w/ iOS 8.0.2, but I actually have an iPhone 6 that should arrive in the next 2-3 weeks. What are my options with this car? Right now, when I plug in my iPhone 5, iDrive does not see the phone at all.
The questions that I couldn't really find the right answer for are:
1. Can I update my iDrive? If so, can I do it myself or do I have to take it to BMW? This car IS CPO, so I have some warrantee time left, if I need to use it.
2. Will a new version of iDrive make it work with iOS 8.x or is BMW still working on a release?
3. Assuming that I get it to see my iPhone, will I still need a Y cable to make the audio work?
4. Is there any update that will allow me to stream my audio over bluetooth and control iPod functions via the steering wheel controls (like my son's 2011 VW Golf does).
5. And the pie in the sky dream... can I some how make my voice activation button activate siri instead of iDrive?
