TFLcar is starting a new “How-to” video series with our Technology Editor – Nicole Wakelin. This time it’s about pairing your Windows smartphone to a 2014 BMW 335i GT and its iDrive system. The iDrive system has been updated for most 2014 models with a faster processing power and a new iDrive Touch controller. However, the basic iDrive featured remain the same across all recent BMWs.
