So many poor things have been said about BMW’s iDrive that many shudder to think of adding more stuff to it due to iDrive’s complexity. So with Samsung teaming up with BMW to integrate the SGH-i300 makes you wonder
if it really was a good idea or not for Samsung. But hey, if you can fully control you’re phone from a joystick on the middle console in your car, why not try to bear the hell of the complexity, right?
Samsung has announced that it is forming an alliance with BMW to integrate their SGH-i300 musicphone into the iDrive interface available in BMW’s 5 Series vehicles.
BMW’s iDrive features a control knob located at the center of the vehicle’s console and allows access to various functions that are displayed on the in-dash monitor. The SGH-i300 connects to the system via A2DP Bluetooth - allowing for music playback, hands-free calling, and operation of the handset. [Source]
