The base plate for mounting the mobile phone via the snap-in adapter is located in the center armrest (with the optional equipment SA6NF extended connection of the music players in the mobile phone). Depending on the mobile phone used, a special snap-in adapter may be required. The snap-in adapter inserted into the base plate instead of the storage tray.

The mobile phone is charged and connected with the roof-mounted aerial via the snap-in adapter. A USB connection and an AUX-IN connection is also established with the vehicle. These functions can vary depending on the BMW snap-in adapter.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the base plate will have an integrated video connection. The connection is for the playback of video files from a connected smartphone.

The BMW snap-in adapters are only available for BMW Group approved mobile phones and can vary depending on the vehicle and equipment.
