FYI. We bought our new car in 7/2015 and have not been able to take advantage of the $200 Smartphone cradle that is taking up room in our center console. The BMW genius dept. just told me that our snap in adapter for our S5 smartphones just was released by BMW in a "universal adapter" way.
Here is my return email that I just sent to BMW Genius: The new, just released, BMW Universal Android Snap In Adapter does not have a "connector" that fits our two Android Samsung Galaxy S5 phones, even though it was supposed to! So, it is not "universal" to the S5 according to Matt T., the BMW mechanic at BMW of Myrtle Beach, SC. who tried to install it earlier today. Please call the Service Mgr., Mike M., at that dealer to confirm what I just said. Also, that mechanic said that with the "Universal" model, even if it had the right connector for the S5, would not be just a "snap in" to the adapter situation. He said that there would be a small cable that would be needed for it to work. This, in our opinion, defeats the purpose of having a clean "snap in" situation which we were led to believe would happen when we paid the $200 for the cradle (that can't be easily removed,according to the mechanic). Please let me know if BMW is ever going to come out with a SPECIFIC snap in adapter for our S5 female connector, like you have for the S4 and the S3 Android models?
