BMW Connected drive limitations

Hi all,
anybody knows about limitations of connected drive outside UK. I'm currently in denmark and features like my info (the one where you can send messages from google maps to your car doesn't seem to work) In fact the only thing working is google search and local weather...

Anybody using that and knows something more about it?

oh by the way anybody tried using the iPhone 3g with the old iphone adapter?
I just wonder if it will work...

well, since my car is not registered yet in the US, I can't use the features here in Germany - bugger!!

Going to see if the local dealer can do something so I can use the service in Germany, GE spec cars can use the features...

But in order to put the car info you just need the last digits of your vin. I bought my car in UK tax free and being now in Denmark I was able to receive the username and password via text message of the mobile you provide.
