The iPhone terminal, one of the most loved and desired gadgets on the planet, and BMW will take advantage of this popularity to integrate the devices in the future models that will leave the gates of BMW factories in 2011. In the clip above we have a small demonstration A BMW ConnectedDrive, the way in which the applications on the iPhone will be able to be used in the car using the on-board computer, the screen in the car console and the buttons available to control the other functions of the car. The company intends to integrate social media applications such as Facebook or Twitter, but the iPod application of our devices will also be able to be used to listen to music or watch movies.

BMW will produce an application called Web Radio that will allow us to listen to radio on the Internet and search for radio stations by name, genre, location, etc. Of course, Web Radio will require the Internet connection of our device, but the iPod accessory can take over the task by simply selecting the songs from the center console screen. Interestingly, when the car is off, we can watch movies or podcasts saved in our iDevice, so we could use the car as a true entertainment center. The BMW concept is very interesting and we will definitely see it adopted by other car manufacturers soon.
