They are not alone though as every manufacturer is on the take when it comes to accessories and Apple themselves are also guilty. I have an IPad and stupidly bought their sleeve for £50 where you can now get better ones on ebay for £10.
Another example is that mobile phone cradle that fits into the armrest on option 644. It a piece of plastic that BMW charges £80 for and changes each time you change phones. Again I got mine off ebay for £5  |
Totally agree - but as no aftermarket lead was available when I needed it I had no choice. Given it doesn't work properly with the iphone too, its pretty shocking. Not sure if there's any after market one now?
Also agree re: the ludicrous centre cradle.
As an apple aficionado too, I feel the Apple overprice pain as well!
