Well... So I heard about the new iPod interface...
Talked to the SA about installation... All ready to go...
Then...

Found out that it is not available on my 300i because I have a June 2005 build and and the iPod interface only works on September 2005 and later builds...

So... I you have a 2005 330... You can get an iPod interface...
So... If you have a POST September 2005 build of a 2006 330 with NAV then you get an iPod interface...

BUT...

If you are in the "dead zone" of the early 2006 330's with NAV then... Guess what... You are screwed...

I wonder what ELSE will not be available... Not be fixed... etc. for 330's in the "dead zone"?

The new MOST interface is only available on the 2006 3 Series.
2005 3 Series can install the older, clunkier, interface... But it IS available...
Check out www.ipodyourbmw.com...

The old interface works on 2002 - 2005 series 3's...

Are you saying that the "older, clunkier, interface" is the one at www.ipodyourbmw.com? Because I thought the one at www.ipodyourbmw.com is the same as www.bmwipod.com, and these were the latest version available.

Newbie, this is my first post.
Thought I would share the info. received recently from BMWNA. I also have a Pre-Sept. build E90 with Nav. Filed a complaint with customer relations regarding the lack of Ipod integration available for my car, as well as the crazy install prices being charge by dealers in S. Cal. Below is the response I received.

I'm with BMW of North America, LLC and shared in reading your inquiry regarding iPod for your E90.

Current information indicates the iPod interface for pre-9/05 E90's with Navigation will be released within about a week. Although we offer MSRP pricing guidelines, BMW cannot set dealer pricing. Servicing schedules are determined by the dealer based on the business operation, the number of technicians available, the volume of service work, etc.

We appreciate hearing you are enjoying your second BMW. I am proud to say that, for the second year in a row, and seventh time in eight years, BMW owners ranked BMW as the highest quality brand in Strategic Vision’s 2006 Total Quality IndexTM (TQI). Moreover, I am pleased to add that the BMW 3 Series was recently voted the 2006 “World Car of the Year.”

Congratulations on having chosen a winner!

Yes, according to BMWNA it's 1 week from Monday the 25th. Let's hope they keep their promise. I have been waiting for this adapter since I bought my car over 1 year ago.
