In the center console there is a USB plug. If it's an apple phone make sure you use a real cable, lots of problems with aftermarket cables in these cars. Do you have BMW apps? That's also how you get access to all the apps.

Officially the Office features are not supported for iPhones. Unofficially the text messages can be viewed and be read out loud.
Look here: http://m.bmw.com/m/mobi/com/en/general/bmw-connected-drive/2013/mobile-devices/bluetooth-compatibility-check/index.cml |

This should work out of the box but make sure that text messages show up in the notification center maybe you disabled this on your phone? And there are some option in the bluetooth settings if you are using bluetooth. It is buried in this thread, reply # 371: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...182909&page=17 |

emails only via office in connected drive. You need to got to the BMW website (connectedDrive and activate your email account. In settings then set up services then go to email accounts and set up your email
Only works for Hotmail Gmail |

2. go to SETTINGS. 3. go to SET UP SERVICES 4. you land to a menu says EMAIL ACCOUNTS. If you have any registered you will be looking at them right now. 5. IF you don't have any click on add email accounts: Gives you options there fill in the infomation: only works with Gmail, Hotmail, iCloud email accounts. I have tried other and seem to not work. But you can always try. (UPDATE:Yahoo in IMAP works too) Sometimes it sends you an email from the account been registered that someone try to access your account follow instructions ONCE you have gone thru the set up you will see them with in a few hours if not asap in your connectedDrive Office via the email app in the car.

Nevermind. Found it. Apparently it appears to be an issue that hasn't been worked around yet.
