the iPhone works perfectly with the BMW iDrive system. Full functionality. You can also listen to your music and when a call comes in, the sound fades out and you can answer your call.

I would expect that the iPhone would work with most iPod accessories. I heard that the video out isn't there though. That I can understand given that it would need an analog video output chip, but the control inputs is probably very trivial.

My Audi and iPhone play nicely together, which is amazing given that Audi hasn't made a big announcement about it ;)
