Does the fact that you have a blanking plate in your arm rest not suggest you have an advanced package of some sort?

I think I just figured it out - from your VIN you can see that your car is equipped with 6NK instead of 6NH. You got lucky! Congrats!

That's the one.....but as rpagianotto said, you are lucky as you car has the 6NK, which features this functionality.

Awesome! Thank you very much, guys.

Just one last thing, if I might ask, could you please tell me where you checked it out? The link where I enter my VIN and tells me what are its components.

Also, actually, does anyone knows a good trusted site where I could buy the snap in media adapter for iPhone 4S?

Many thanks!

Nice! Thanks a lot, guys!

I see I got some other stuff as well like 6NF and DVD unlock (which the dealer charge like 1k here to do). Awesome!

Now, if someone could only tell me a good trusted site where I could buy the snap in media adapter for iPhone 4S I'd highly appreciate it!

A question - I was trying to pick up the updated iDrive software, as I have a problem with bluetooth on my current mobile phone (HTC 8x).

However, when entering my VIN at bmw.com/update, it says that the update is not available for my car. This is strange, since I have the bluetooth and USB upgrade (6NH?). The bluetooth and USB are retrofitted though, so I don't know if that is an issue (it might explain why the VIN isn't considered ready for upgrading).

Is there some other way to get the update - can I get it from one of you guys, or is it tied to the VIN when downloaded?

I called my dealer, who wasn't even aware of the update possibility - I had to point him to bmw.com/update to explain what I was talking about
