BMW iPhone integration
Rumors were swirling yesterday that BMW was ready to announce iPhone integration with some models of their fleet. BMW did, in fact, have an iPhone announcement yesterday but it wasn't exactly the one folks were expecting. BMW did announce that the iPhone works with both their existing iPod integration system, as well as the Bluetooth speaker systems found in some models.
There you have it, iPod integrated BMW owners, you can use your iPhone in luxury.

My Audi and iPhone play nicely together, which is amazing given that Audi hasn't made a big announcement about it ;)

I would expect that the iPhone would work with most iPod accessories. I heard that the video out isn't there though. That I can understand given that it would need an analog video output chip, but the control inputs is probably very trivial.

the iPhone works perfectly with the BMW iDrive system. Full functionality. You can also listen to your music and when a call comes in, the sound fades out and you can answer your call.
