Use the time you spend in your vehicle even more effectively with

cable connects to your BMW’s USB port. Another rare feature: with
BMW Assist and Bluetooth audio streaming, you can wirelessly play
music through the BMW audio system from any Bluetooth compatible
music player or mobile phone, from anywhere in your vehicle. In fact,
the audio library appears on the Display screen, where you can use the
iDrive Controller knob to make your selection.
MyInfo allows you to send business locations and street addresses
to your BMW from Google Maps.™ Destinations and phone numbers
can be accessed and exported to your Navi gation system for immediate
