It would actually be easier for me to have to phone outside of the center console where I can launch the apps quicker/safer. Can you verify this if you have any of the iDrive supported apps? Thanks.


BTW, the part number is: 84212351307 $135 on BMWUSA website.

OEM # 84-21-2-351-308 Suggested retail is $250 but you can get it on amazon.com for about $197.
