BMW Mengumumkan 4 App Baru Yang Akan Terintegrasi Dengan iOS

BMW hari ini mengumumkan 4 buah app yang nantinya, akan terintegrasi dengan audio iOS dan Music app, buat lini produk BMW dan juga MINI. Keempat aplikasi itu antara lain: Audible, Glympse, Rhapshody dan Tune In.

Berikut penuturan Phil Johnston terkait kehadiran 4 app ini:

“We regularly identify apps that our owners rely on as part of their everyday life, and adapt them for an in-vehicle experience they’ll find safe, useful and engaging,” said Phil Johnston, Product Manager for the BMW Group Apps Platform from the BMW Group Technology Office. “Audible, Glympse, Rhapsody and TuneIn were natural additions to the family of BMW Apps Ready Apps.”

Johnston continued “Integrating access to digital spoken-word content from Audible was the next logical way to expand audio entertainment for drivers. The ability to use the Glympse app from the existing vehicle controls enables drivers to share their whereabouts and ETA in a much safer way. Music is key to vehicle infotainment, and by partnering with Rhapsody, we are delivering music to our owners in user-friendly formats they prefer. With TuneIn, BMW drivers will not only get thousands of music radio stations, but also live sports, news and talk shows from around the world.”

Untuk mengaksesnya sendiri, kamu harus lebih dulu menghubungkan iPhone dengan kabel USB atau via snap-in adapter. Setelah terhubung, kamu bisa mengendalikan ponsel tersebut melalui iDrive, tombol-tombol yang ada di kemudi dan monitor on-board.
