Gazza52 · 04-02-2013, 12:51 PM

Hi I have just recently bought a 2009 E92 325d m sport with idrive and was wondering what music options I have ? I noticed I have only a AUX plug in my centre console with a iPhone cradle and I'm looking to use my iPhone 3GS for muisc or my iPod , any help would be grateful

Dension gateway 500 s BT or mobridge are the best two.
go to there websites for info.
There are cheap A2DP bluetooth adaptors such as the blackberry
adapter but they work through the aux input which is pretty low fi.

You should identify which system you have of the three most used.

That last cable is basically and aux adapter with charger.
If you want to test the aux you can buy a stereo mini jack cable.

use that to play your music.

But remember - it's for a data stick. Doesn't seem to work with a smartphone.

Fixed.

Glovebox USB is not for playing music.

Use the usb + Aux iphone cable or just play through your blue tooth.

I used to have the following setup before I bought the OEM iPod integration kit....

Connect ipod to this cable, so it can deliver music through aux and stay charged too:

stash your ipod in the center armrest

Then control the flow of music remotely (without line of sight) using this:

Worked for me!
