Which Ipod app to use

Hi guys, and gals (if any here),

I want to know which Ipod app to download. when I visit the app store I see multiple apps. I want to have some control over my X5, send Nav destinations, lock /unlock, find it in big parking lot (or stolen)

Also what is the best app to integrate streaming internet radio stations with the bluetooth

thanks

Hi. I'm assuming you have the Connected Drive option. If so you register on the BMW site and download the Remote app. This then controls and sets lights AC doors and sat Nav. If you haven't ticked the Connected Drive option the app won't work.

If you don't have it, can connected drive be enabled via coding?

Don't think so...I'm sure you have to pay BMW as a factory fitted option

I don't think so. It's a separate option and CD has nothing to do with Enhanced Bluetooth.
Check with BMW USA and asked them...I think your dealer is mistaken.
