Owners Can Enjoy Hands-Free Calling and Integrated iPod Operation In Many Current BMW Models.
Owners of many current BMW models will be able to enjoy integration of their new Apple iPhones™ in their vehicles from day one.
In 2004, BMW was the first vehicle manufacturer to integrate the Apple iPod® into BMW vehicles and have customers take full control of their music on the road. So it seemed only logical that BMW be among the first vehicle manufacturers to ensure that owners of the new iPhone have the same ability to enjoy their music, plus the added benefits of Bluetooth® handsfree calling.
The iPhone will work as a Bluetooth-enabled cellphone on most BMW Assist-equipped models with Bluetooth handsfree-calling produced October 2004 or later (7 Series as of March 2005 production). Bluetooth technology provides a wireless connection between a compatible cell phone and the vehicle for hands-free calling. With a compatible Bluetooth cell phone, drivers can place and answer calls and select numbers from the address book by simply using the multi-function steering wheel or dashboard controls, or on some models, voice activation via Voice Command.
