Has anyone figured out how to shuffle the entire iPod with the new e90s and iPod integration with iDrive installed?

The manual doesn't tell me much.

The closest I can come is use the CD6 setting and hit random.

[tbonecopper]

OK. I read in the manual that cd6 displays all the songs, well 255 of them. I didn't think of that.

When I was shuffling from cd1 it kept playing the artists songs over and over again.

Thanks

I'm still having difficulties shuffling

When I go to the next track, even before the current one is finished playing, it just goes to the song in the same folder,

For Example:

Cyndi Lauper:
Time After Time (currently playing)

Next track:
Goonies Mix- Good Enough

If it's on shuffle, it just goes to the next Cyndi Lauper song, instead of shuffling to something else like my MINI did.

Any advise?

Thanks

That's just a 'bug' in the software, you experience the same with mp3 cd's. Let's hope BMW solves this in one of their software updates.

I thought that problem would have been fixed in the latest update... guess not.

I wonder if this could be a programming issue on the Apple side of the equation. My younger brother just brought a brand new Civic with Honda's Ipod interface - same exact issue when he tries to shuffle.

I think the only way is to turn off and on the random shuffle. (I.e., click on a track and select "random directory" to turn it off, and then click on track and select "random directory" again to skip to the next random track.) It's a little cumbersome, but I haven't figured out a better way.

I will soon try using the shuffle songs feature on the iPod itself then plugging it into the car.

Maybe that will work

It's not that big of a deal to create playlists either.

No, shuffle settings in the iPod itself have no effect--iDrive controls the behavior.

[tbonecopper]

Yep I just figured that. I will ask the bmw tech @ the dealership about a software update tomorrow

till a software update, i'll use playlists lol

thanks
