iPhone 5 Media Adapter
My shipment from Europe came in. Had a quick opportunity to play with this today. Works as designed, and very happy to no longer need to carry an extra charger in case my iPhone goes flat.
Haven't tried video playback but I'm told it won't work - yet. Not a big deal though, I would never use it anyway. More info on cradle adapter: http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=814703

I haven't tried video either but works perfectly. Got mine last Friday.
I got mine on eBay.de Had it shipped to our Frankfurt office and forwarded by inter office mail. You're probably best off waiting for WDImagineers shipment though. Genius to buy in bulk!

WDI can your supplier get us the aspherical mirrors for the M5 at bulk pricing? If so I'd be interested in starting a group buy thread.

It's much more convenient than fumbling with the cable.

I already have a set on my car. Love them. Cost on these adapters will be around $300/ea. Should be here within 15 days.

Thats a very fair price. It cost me about $298 when you factor conversion rate, and that doesn't include intl shipping.

If you have coded video playback in your car while driving, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Great idea. I wouldn't mind having one myself.

With coding you could just enable Video in Motion.

Let's not encourage BMW by telling them that $300 is a fair price for a plastic phone adapter.
I want this, but the cost is just absurd. The adapter costs more than the phone?? WTF (Of course, I'll probably be PM'ing wdimagineer tomorrow)

I'm pretty sure the media adapter only works for "naked" iPhones

Naked or with a Skin. My iPhone has a Wrapsol skin plus a Spigen Glas.t Slim screen protector. But no case. And it works fine with the adapter.

I have a simple question, what advantage does the iphone 5 cradle have over just using a simple USB cable connection? I usually adhere to the "KISS" principle especially if there is no real advantage.

The interface on the iDrive is also a lot better than when you just connect via USB, I don't know why it is different but it is. Also charges almost twice as fast.
