"Snap in adapter" for phones?"

Hey guys forgive me if this is a stupid question but now that I think about it, I dont recall seeing anything about an actual snap in adapter for iPhones (or any other). I know there is an "Enhanced USB and Bluetooth plus Smartphone Integration" option which I checked, however it doesnt look like the phone physically connects. I know wireless is great and all however, the snap in adapter is also great because it charges and houses your phone. What do you think?

I think you need the 6NS package to get the snap in adapter in the center console.
Did you order that?

I has the snap in adapter for my iphone 4S on my e92. In theory, it's wonderful. Just get the Y-cord and save the other money. Not worth it IMO.

Does the adapter come with the 6NS package? Where do you select the adapter for your phone or do you just get it from the dealer at delivery?

Adapters are NOT included and you will have to get it at the dealer. It runs about $200 IIRC.

For sure. That's why i suggest the $30 (or a good dealer will just throw it in) Y cable. Basically the exact same functionality. One difference is that when plugged into the car, it supposedly utilized the shark fin on the roof to get a better signal. I can vouch for that being true, but nowadays cell phone service is good enough in most locations that it doesnt matter.

also, if you have an iphone in a case, the design of the snap in adapter forces you to take the case off; silly design.

I'll just use a USB lead to charge and a micro-USB for music
