2014 X5 and Apple iPhone Integration
What is the latest on iPhone integration with 2014 X5s? I thought BMW said that the 2014 x5 would have Siri Eyes Free Integration? Any pointers to info on this?
What about BMW Apps? BMW Connect? Hotspot in car? etc? Thanks, Pesh |

iPhone integration
Took delivery of my wife's 2014 X5 today.
Siri access is a yes. Press and hold the steering wheel voice command button and Siri responds. If you press and don't hold you will access built in BMW system. Text and Email On my 2013 7, I have text and email working. I'm planning on seeing if the same procedure will work on the 14 X5. Will report back yes or no. If yes I will get back with the setup details. |
