BMW apps (warning)

For you guys who are adding the apps feature(iPhone) for ($250.00) to your order when building your X1 understand that the car does not come with the (Y) cable that you need for the apps to fully work. You can use the usb cable that came with your iPhone but its too long and gets in the way of the gear shifter. Also video will not work on the screen with it or the older "Y" cable. The other way is to fork out $100.00 for the "NEW" Y cable from BMW or Fork out $250.00 from BMW for the iPhone adapter for the console snap in. So do your homework and never assume anything with your order. I hope this helps

Pss:
You can not get text messages or personal e/m or reg internet. only in the UK for now... as per BMW

The new Y cable part number is: 2 179 623-01

I think it's sad BMW charges $100.00 for a cable that cost $2.00 to make so you can use a option that cost you $250.00 to use.....Come on BMW Really?....
