What exactly is the difference between:
Bluetooth phone prep (644) (£535)
Bluetooth phone prep + telematics (633) (£535)
Bluetooth telephone audio connection (6NF) (£70)
He is also wondering what happens regarding a phone dock / arm rest...
Do you have to have one?
Does the phone go in or under the armrest?
How do you sync without one?
Any pictures of setups ,descriptions and stories of iphone success or anger would be greatly received.
Thanks in advance

First of all
the forum as there is loads of iPhone and Bluetooth discussions.
Bluetooth with telematics is only available with Business/Pro Navigation/idrive.
The iPhone will connect to use the phone via Bluetooth only. Music requires the standard aux in socket - music controlled by the ipod/iphone, or the additional USB interface, with an additional 'y' cable from BMW parts to get ipod/iphone to be controlled by the radio/steering wheel buttons
Some owners have had issues with connecting iphones with Bluetooth and via the USB but in the main it should work with no problems.
You don't need the iphone cradle in the armrest for it all to work. If its in the cradle it cannot be connected to the 'Y' cable for music. It doesn't need to be in the cradle or connected to the 'y' cable for the phone to work with Bluetooth.
Think I've covered it. But again to a search on this topic. There is more info here than your dealer will know about.
