since the 4 and the 4s have the same form factor (body) then it should fit

All the iphone 4 cases work on a 4S

Question is, can you fit a iphone with a case into this snap it module or does it have to be without the case ?

Definitely without the case. Just the naked phone.

I was actually wonder if the adapter would work with my car, not if the phone would work with the adapter.

As I said I have an '08 135i. In the center console pictured above I have just a shallow plastic well. Can that be removed and the iPhone adapter installed in it's place? Or was is there some option I would have had to get when I purchased the car for this to work?

I'd like to have the full snap in adapter, but if it requires a special option I don't have or would require a major install fee then I'll just stick with the Y cable and bluetooth.

The whole set up for the console was ~$300 + dealer install and coding. If you are looking to save bucks, the y cable is the way to go.

$300 isn't too bad. I was just thinking that if it require a retrofit of some mufti-thousand dollar option then it wouldn't be worth it.

Thanks for the info. When I get the phone I try it for a few days with the Y cable and if I hate it I'll call the dealer.
