iDrive (especially NBT) is the best car UI IMHO... I don't see iOS adding anything to the table.

Yes! Then Apple can continually ask me if I want to update my IOS. When I finally agree to the update, it will render my car useless and I'll have to upgrade my car to a newer model year.

Huh?

Apple does pretty well with getting its updates out to all models.. (Phone Wise) Even the ones that are 3/4/5 years old... I mean I just think they'd make a beautiful/simple and most of all SMOOTH Car Operating System. But +1 for the input.

Hahahaha, I agree with this. I think it would be cool, but I'd be scared of problems.

Yeh I'd totally want an operating system in my car that completely changes the look and features of how it works every 6 months... wouldn't be annoying at all.

And then we could wait 2 years and they would change any input plug to a different sort and render the whole vehicle obsolete...

Sounds super duper...

My kids would beg to differ. iPhone 4. One year left on their contracts, and their phones are pretty much useless after upgrading to IOS 7. They cannot go back to the original IOS 6, because "restore to factory settings" does not restore to factory settings. Needless to say my kids are no longer "fanboys".

Apple "Genius Bar" tells me:

"It's a memory issue."
"You should have checked the forums before agreeing to the upgrade."
"Nothing we can do since it's a software issue."
"We only sell the hardware - the operating system is free."
"The iPhone 4 is an old phone." (which is still available brand new)

This is the problem we're faced with when the hardware manufacturer controls all the content, including the operating system - they can force us to upgrade our hardware any time they like. It is only after weeks of harassing Apple all the way up their food chain that I got any kind of resolution.

Granted, if BMW were to incorporate IOS, I would hope they'd negotiate a different way of doing business. But if Apple had their way, they'd control everything.

ex-iOS user here. Pissed off with iTunes.

So no thanks. I'd rather have Android but we hear good things about Blackberry QNX (actually used in BMWs)

The bezels on a bunch of iPad airs were all crooked.

They should rename the genius bar the moron bar, for the customers. Nothing like a 18 y.o. person trying to solve a business issue--they often can't even handle moving a MTN to the new $900 device.

iOS has less than a quarter of the marketplace, is not configurable by the OEM (in this case BMW), is tethered to Apple's phone hardware and displays. Good luck getting it to run.

Android would be a much better choice, as it already has more than 50% market share, and has all the things (above) that you need.

It would nice to have both Android and Apple OS pre-loaded onto the cars and it would autodetect. Pretty sure that's not going to happen though. Chevrolet, Ferrari, Honda, Jaguar, Mercedes, Nissan, Volvo and others would be introducing iOS integration this year. Then you have Audi with Google. With that said, I'm too invested in the Apple ecosystem to leave at this point.

It MAY be cool and all, but for the love of God and all that is mighty of this universe, if what I hear about iOS Maps is true, please keep it the hell away from my car and all future cars I shall ever own, lease, rent, drive, move, push, pull, tow, valet, or even sit in. As an Android fan despite its shortcomings, one thing you gotta admit is Google Maps is pretty well-developed and thought out.

Not likely. Apple is not Google. This is about producing batteries together I bet.
