57 plate Ipod help
Hi,
I've been trawling the forum and ebay and I can't get a definitive answer! I have a 57 plate 318D M Sport with the professional radio, no cd changer unit, and only the aux in connector in the centre console, no usb. Is there anyway, without spending hundreds, I can connect my ipod up so I can charge it and use the steering wheel controls to change tracks? I've seen things on ebay, but the majority of them are not compatible with the 3 series e90 after 2003?!?!? Anyone?! Cheers! |

If you want to be able to control the tracks from the steering wheel etc you will need either the USB (aka 6FL) which is an expensive retrofit option of approx £900 or alternatively, the glovebox interface, which will set you back approx £400. In both of the above options, if you have a 4th generation ipod/iphone, you will almost certainly have a charging issue as Apple in their wisdom, decided to alter the charging pins. Some people claim the purchasing of a Scosche adaptor can resolve this but there have been mixed reports of this being successful. http://www.scoschedirect.co.uk/?gcli...FQ4yQgodrh8maA Personally, I have asked BMW to fit the glovebox option & will buy an older generation ipod if I have to. |
