IPOD

Bungle009 · 12-26-2009, 11:58 AM

I just plugged my ipod into the USB socket in the armrest, expecting the car to pick it up, but no joy. I used the same USB cable that connects the IPOD to the PC. Am i missing something ?? Do i need a Y cable, and if so what is it & where do i get it from.

Thanks.

Before shelling out for that Y-adapter, try a different iPod cable. I have had my iPod connected to the armrest port with just the Apple iPod-to-USB cable without any issue.

With full music control and track info displayed on you idrive/headunit screen?

I could select the music using the steering wheel buttons and the information on the iDrive screen could be selected using the iDrive wheel.

Must be an '09 LCI improvement over my '08 car then.
