BMW Does the App Thing In a Big Way

Your local Pennsylvania BMW Dealer in West Chester, knows that BMW has something exciting going on with its fleet that has to do with new innovative technology. Beginning this month, any new BMW model will be available with additional  cutting edge technology that is merged into the iDrive infotainment system, including a range of BMW Apps. These new features are considered an addendum to the BMW ConnectedDrive system. That program already provides exclusive BMW Assist roadside assistance. It also allows for total mobile device functionality through the iDrive controls.

You’ll be able to fully access BMW Apps by snapping your iPhone right into a specially designed cradle that is located in the center console. When this free iPhone application (BMW Connected) is fired up, you’ll be able to do all the things you could with your iPhone; such as to tap into your iPod music list, your Facebook profile and your Twitter account. Here’s what’s really cool. If you go into your Twitter and Facebook sites your newsfeeds are either viewable or available as a text-to-speech mode. This means you’re car will be reading your posts while you drive. But that’s not all that these apps will do.

You can set up pre-composed updates that will allow you to post on Facebook as to where you’re headed and what song you’re listening to. If you want, you can access online radio and Pandora radio integration. As you sync up your car’s navigation system with your iPhone, you’ll be getting the download route to carry with you on foot. And of course, there’s a car locator which means you’ll never get lost in a mall parking lot again!
