BMW will be showing their newly developed BMW Original Accessories at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. This will include the those that are specifically developed for smartphones, laptops and the iPad. With these technology devices a constant in the lives of many BMW owners, having these accessories really adds comfort and convenience. BMW offers extended functionality and a higher level of integration so that drivers and passengers can use computer and mobile devices safely inside the car.
The BMW iPad holder will make its debut in the new BMW X3 and will soon make its way to other models in 2011. The Apple iPad can be used horizontally or vertically in the holder, depending on passengers’ preferences. Whether it be for office or leisure use, this holder would be perfect for iPad owners.
As an additional feature, the iPad can be connected to an ad-hoc WiFi hotspot using an internet-compatible mobile phone or data-enabled SIM card. Because of the Bluetooth interface previosly launched by BMW for the Apple iOS 4, it also allows the integration of the new Apple iPhone 4 and iPod.
In 2011, BMW will introduce a new interface technology that will enable all new BMW models to support the new iPod Out function of iOS 4.
