It’s the kind of innovative approach you would expect from BMW.
In 2004, BMW was the first to integrate the iPod into BMW vehicles and have customers take full control of their music on the road. So it seemed only logical that BMW be among the first to ensure iPhone owners have the same ability to enjoy their music, plus the added benefits of Bluetooth® hands-free calling across our model line. We are pleased to announce that BMW owners can use their iPhone in this way from day one.

Its my in-car navigation system. Its my personal in-car notepad. Its my in-car mp3 player… AHH NO, it’s the new iPhone inside your car. With the hyped up release of the new iPhone in few hours we all search and read about all of its features as well as all of the compatible accessories. But what about use of the iPhone in your car? Well, it is a plethora of products available as well as a invisible list of compatible Bluetooth vehicles for the new iPhone already. Listed below we have a few links to compatible accessories to couple with your new iPhone if you are one of the “lucky ones” tomorrow.
Bad news for those of you who have Bluetooth in your car and want to get the iPhone; they will not work together. Since the iPhone has its own Bluetooth, that is different from the universal Bluetooth we use on regular phones, the Iphone will not connect to your car Bluetooth.The good news is that you can buy a kit from Apple, or another company that has a contract with Apple, to connect your iPhone to your car. I am sure that down the road newer car models will come out with the Apple Bluetooth that connects to your iPhone. It is almost a certainty with the way the new iPhone is all hyped up. Well shall SEE and HEAR!

There are movie tie-ins and then there are movie tie-ins. Starting today and running through July 9, General Motors is advertising a “Transform Your Ride” sale on select models. The sale is tied in with “The Transformers,” which opens July 3. Buyers can get 0% financing for 36 months — if they qualify — or $1,000 cash back. These deals are in addition to some current offers.
As sales go, this isn’t even close to the huge discounts of summers past, but the TV commercials are promised to be high-definition with 5.1 surround sound and will include images of robots from the movie, many of which transform into GM vehicles. A list of eligible cars can be found below, but we’re more intrigued by the movie than this sale.
