BMW Connected Drive
The team at BMW has been working hard to advance the way drivers link with information and entertainment on the go. Using BMW’s Connected Drive apps, drivers can integrate numerous web-based services with the iDrive console and display in their new BMW.
Though the system can bring your Facebook or Twitter feed right to your dashboard and read updates out loud, it’s the web radio functionality that’s of particular interest to the audiophile. The Web Radio portion of the BMW Connected App allows drivers to seamlessly tune into any web radio station, anywhere in the world, from wherever they are. The web radio listening experience can be controlled and manipulated right on the main screen using the iDrive controller—rather than the handset.
