Smartphone fans, especially Apple fans, look out for new connectivity features in BMW’s ConnectedDrive System, which is ready to take the global lead when it comes to connecting smartphones and music players in the car.
At the 2010 Paris Motor Show later this month, BMW will showcase a globally unique technology for integrating BlackBerry smartphones in the car, which among other things allows the display of emails including the text-to-speech function.
BMW also upgraded its Bluetooth connectivity technology for the Apple iOS 4 operating system and allows the new Apple iPhone 4 to be integrated, among other devices. Also new is the iPod Out function, which optimizes the operation of various Apple music players in the vehicle. BMW is also adding a WiFi hotspot function that provides rear-seat passengers using a notebook or Apple iPad with wireless internet access.
