I have *an* iPod interface from the factory on my car, but there are two different ones. For early MY2012 cars (through Aug 2011 build date), it's the version that doesn't work with a simple Apple cable, but requires the special BMW split cable. From Sept 2011 forward, I don't know whether that changed, and I can't speak to MY2011.
It's great to hear that this bluetooth solution works on the non iDrive cars, though it sounds like we have a different MULF/non MULF component (which is the key factor in how the ipod integration works).
I think I'll probably see if my local coder can get the phone option to appear on the head unit.... and then worry about cabling/mic/antenna.... or, if he can't, then I probably need a full retrofit.
