Which model iPhone?

Apple deprecates support for older products on a rolling basis -- ergo, BMW does, too. For iDrive 4.0, those of us on 2Addicts have found that iPhones and iPods that use the old 30-pin connector are hit-and-miss when it comes to integration with iDrive. If the peripheral was the last version with that connector, it probably works. Older than that? Dicey.

Thing is, you're getting iDrive 5.0 -- which almost no one has yet. So you're going to have to wait to find out, I'm afraid, unless there's a 2016 7 Series owner who can chime in ...
