Can't find a BMW Snap-In Cradle?
I currently have an iPhone 4 - but was thinking of upgrading my contract to a Samsung Galaxy S4 or the Galaxy Note 2.
The only problem is I have a Snap-In adaptor for my BMW 116Di which is compatible with my iPhone4. I've googled loads and can't see any adaptors for samsung phones - even though I've found ones for motorola, nokia, sony ericcson etc.
Do BMW offer these? Where can I buy one? I don't want to get a cheapo one from Japan etc if I can help it - I'd rather have an official product that isn't going to mess up the electronics in my car.
They are only available from BMW as it is incorporated into their iDrive system.
"I'd rather have an official product that isn't going to mess up the electronics in my car." - So what did the BMW dealer say when you asked them?
They don't do it for the Samsung. Your next best option is to go bluetooth if you are after telephony. If you want music then go for the ipod cable install that BMW offer. If you do not have the AUX and USB under your glove box then it will be very expensive and you will be best getting the ipod cable to the glovebox option.
- Why can't people with an Iphone open my snap videos? I've tried updating my phone, deleting n reinstalling the app, clearing the cache n data on snap chat, lowering the quality, restarting phone. All with no luck. I have an HTC EVO 4g and no one that has an iPhone can open my snap videos… Any clue why? Anyone else have this problem
- Why can't I snap longer videos in snapchat? I have a brand new Nexus 5 phone on the latest Android OS. I can only snap videos up to 7 seconds. IPhone users can snap up to 10 seconds, and sometimes even more! I e-mailed snapchat about the problem, but they're not responding. I tried to uninstall and re-install the app, even tried the beta version, but still the same problem.
- Where will the iphone adaptor fit in my BMW? I have a BMW 116D Sport. Its a 2009 (59) plate. The steering wheel has a load of buttons for a bluetooth mobile phone connection. I was planning on buying an iphone 4/4S SnapIn adaptor so I can use my phone. The only thing is I've seen the adaptors and I can't see where it would fit in my car. In many other BMWs there's a space near the handbrake where an adaptor can fit nicely. Mine doesn't have this. Does anyone know where it would go?
- Snap chat? And iPhones? How much can you see? IPhone 5 has a bigger screen that iPhone 4. If I take a photo on a iPhone 4 and send it to someone with an iPhone 5. Will they be able to see more of the picture than I did when I sent it? Or do the boarders stay the same no matter how you view it?
