I had telephone wiring and bought an iphone snap in for the car for £60 but all it does is charge the phone, which is fine for me. I didnt order the USB in the armrest thingy which is what you need for proper ipod compatibility. BMW wanted about £450 + vat to aftermarket fit it or £299 for one in the glove box (whatever use that would be!). I have just gone down the road of putting my music on a USB and loading onto the car through the USB in glovebox. The car has a 12.5 GB hard drive for this stuff....which is why I didnt buy a CD multichanger either.

Look into a kit like the mObridge, this will support the current model iPods (including 3G/3GS iPhone) and offer much improved browsing speed.

Mines a July 08 registered E90 M3, asked about the USB fitting in the glove box, but like you, got quoted ridiculous money plus it still wouldn't work with the latest touch anyway! It's just annoying, you'd think in todays techno world a usb connection would come as standard in a 50k + motor! |
