OK. Got it; thanks for that! Now, how do I get the "Office" app in Idrive to work in my car? I haven't found any help on getting that to activate. Is it my older model iPhone 4 that's the problem?

What do they charge for the service? There is no pricing info for apps or services.

Utterly useless for Android. There's just a couple apps of almost no value. No text message integration. No email. No Spotify. No Pandora. No Google Play Music. No TuneIn Radio, which I was depending on to fill-in for the missing AM radio. Count me as feeling cheated by BMW. Come on. Android has 81% of the market share in smartphones. I'll concede that BMW owners are probably more likely to own iPhones than drivers of less expensive brands, but my guess is that Android users at least equal iPhone users. My feeling is that BMW is intentionally evasive about the vast differences in the level of integration, as they just refer to your "smartphone". My dealer dropped the ball here. I told them I had Android.
