iPhone 3GS with 6NF not being recognized on iDrive
I have 6NF (Smartphone Integration) and purchased the snap-in adapter (model number 84-21-2-158-683). The phone is not showing up on iDrive in External Devices. Anyone else have this problem? Is there something that I am overlooking?
The bluetooth is on and connected. Everything works fine when plugged into the iPod connector. Thank you in advance, Neil 2009 335 Convertible/AT/Sport/Premium/Nav/Space Gray/Black/Gray Poplar |

for the cable, there is 3 different versions, one 3G and one 3GS. Maybe for the cradle as well???

I don't know if it's the same as in Europe but I had the old adaptor installed in my 2007 330i and moved it to my 2009 335i. It didn't work for my music and I had to buy a new snap-in adaptor. I checked the part number you posted and it's the same I bought. You need the USB audio interface (6FL) on top of the 6NF BMW expalined me or it won't work.
When I insert the phone there is a message on my screen (phone) saying something like "this accessory is not compatible with iPhone". You need to press "No" and it works. I get my contacts, music and playlists on the screen. Hope this helps... /Jan |

More info
Thank you for your responses so far. Here is some more information from some tests this morning with the iPhone 3GS.
Next, I will try with another iPhone to see if it works. Thanks, Neil |

I have the same problem. However, I think they didn't order my car properly. When they call up my VIN it doesn't show 6NF. <sigh> Double check to see if it was ordered with 6NF from the factory.

The first snap-in adapter I used with my 3GS wouldn't recognize music on the phone. I've been told this is the one to order:
Apple iPhone 3G USB Snap In Adapter for BMW Smart Phone (PN: 84 21 2 158 683) What won't work on your phone? The phone works perfectly with the Y cable, fortunately.

If you have Smartphone Option and IF you've ordered the proper cradle (if you order the Iphone cradle for cars without smartphone, you will not be able to play music) one other thing to watch for is that nothing else is plugged into the USB port. As I recall, you can play music on an Ipod/USB device OR the Iphone. If both are jacked in, I think it defaults to the Ipod/USB device.

Is it just me, or is there an echo in here?
