Is there some kind of update to make it work with the Iphone?

If not, can I simply use an USB stick instead of getting another Ipod?

Thanks.

I have two new iPod cables. If you need one, please send me a PM.

Ok, I'll ask the obvious...because you didnt order 6FL?

well, I also didn't build the car. CPO

So that would explain it.

Well,

I was using the original white Apple data cable. Had no clue I needed a special one

Thanks.

Is this the cable that BMW charges you $400 for as an "optional" iPod USB Adaptor?

I just ordered a 2009 e92 m3 but opted not to get the iPod USB Adaptor option. This is my first BMW so I'm not aware, but do all 09 e92's come with the aux-in and usb-in even if you don't get the iPod option? Just wanted to know because it seems like the option just gives you the cable to plug into the aux-in and usb-in. If so, that means I can just buy the cable later right?

Its the cable that comes with the $400 option. The (replacement) cable costs ~$50.00 at the dealer. The cable alone is not the option...

oh ok. so i only get an aux-in not the usb-in without this option from the factory right?

Ok I won't lie, I'm a bit confused. I plugged in my iPod touch 1st generation (3.0 firmware) into the 6FL and ipod showed up as an option on my cd player. Now it doesn't show up anymore despite unplugging and resetting the ipod. Thoughts?

I am using the ycable with a Nano 4th gen ipod 6FL option.
Everything works great.I can control the player and use playlists etc and the battery charges. My only problem is that if I leave it plugged in with the car OFF the battery gets drained in a few hours. I have no idea why this is happening. I understand that the power to the y cable will cut out 20-30 min after the key is out and the car is locked. I have no idea why the darn thing will not go into standby mode after the power is cut. Something is preventing it from going to sleep. Is anyone else having this issue? Maybe its only on the 4th gen Nano. I have firmware 1.04 btw and the BMW has all the latest programming as well. Sucks to have to disconnect the Nano every time or else the battery is going to crap out very soon!

I have an 07 e92, it has the aux in but not the usb, can I get that from the dealer installed?

I just purchased a 2008 135i convertible and it came with the ipod dongle (61.12.0.440.796) and a guy at the dealer showed me it working with his 1st gen iPod Touch. But when I connect my 2nd gen iPod Touch it doesn't work. If I disconnect the USB it will still play music, but obviously I'd like to have the dashboard controls. I called another dealer and they looked up by VIN number and said I needed part # 61.12.0.440.812 but I wasn't confident that she understood the problem and she said it'd be $74 with no chance of refund. Anyone know if this part number will definitely work with the 2nd gen iTouch?

Thanks

I mentioned earlier Griffin had come out with a new adaptor that might fix the charging problem with 3G/3GS iPhones. I just received the product from Amazon and it does not charge my iPhone 3GS.

The Cable Jive adaptor I have still works and charges, but is poorly made and often falls out of the iPhone at the least little nudge.

[jpsimon]

I'll get the part number for my 6FL cord... but like i said earlier my 3GS charges fine. Am I the only one that this actually works for?

08 335xi, sports package, premium/idrive, cold weather, 6FL

[kisho]

Has anyone tried this? Looks like a 6fl Retrofit.

Charging, iPod integration and bluetooth connectivity works just fine with my 3GS using the stock 6FL cable.

What's the difference between the stock cable and this one? I also have a non-working 2nd Gen touch.

I'm sorry if this is a noob question, but I've tried to look through this thread to find the answer.

I've had my 08 E90 with 6FL for less than a week and haven't had any updates done to it. When I scroll through the artist list on my 80gig iPod video, the names change to numbers, but I can still scroll through them.

I just want to confirm that this is the 'fast scroll.' Thanks.

[arabbmw]

hopefully someone can answer this for me, but sometimes my music will cut in and out or
sound half way on, or it will only play on the right side of the car when my ipod is
connected through the usb/aux of the 6fl system. Ill then have to pull and play with the cable till it goes back to normal.

Is the problem the car, the cable, or the ipod? (ive tried 2 different ipods and same thing)

Just wanted to ask before i go buy a new cable

[jpsimon]

sounds like the cable isn't plugged in all the way, or came a little loose

That's by design. Once you stop scrolling you should see the names again.

you think buying a new cable would be a good place to start? and also, are the ebay alternatives just as good, or do i really have to shove out 50 bucks to bmw?
