How to play my iPod?

[Jarren]

Hi, I have just collected my pre-owned E90

I have some query:

1. Is the AUX-in mend for playing stuff like iPod Nano?
2. If can play, where can I purchase the cable?

Please advise, thanks

Re: How to play my iPod?

I guess you could use a simple aux jack with the other end that fits an iPod Nano. However if you need a Y-Cable, one that display the titles etc on your sound system, I have an almost brand new one to sell. PML sells for about $130.

Yours from PML or OEM?
Heard Y-Cable can play.. can charge.. correct?
Also heard that can change volume.. but not song using buttons on steering wheel.. correct?

But think I need all the above.. can play.. can charge.. can charge volume & song from the steering wheel control...... cos I have a habit to change song while driving:ehhh:

I will try to find & install one which can perform all the above mentioned.

Y-cable can do all these.

BUT, your pre-FL E90 dun have the USB connector to fully enable the Y-cable function.

HI

This is an old thread but I would like to ask if there is a place here in SG who sells the IPOD AUX connectors and install as well apart from PML which can be cost prohibitive..

Does your E90 comes with iDrive navigation (not the portable Garmin)? If yes, then you can use the standard white Apple USB cable... no need Y-cable

On my E60 '08, the aux is located on the rear air con vent, between the two power jacks.Yours should be there too. No USB.

Hi, I'm wondering does anyone know where the aux in is for the e92 coupe? It's underneath the arm rest right? There's also a cig jack there..but they claim that there's no cig jack n it's empty and meant for iPhone? A bit curious..Tks.

Re: How to play my iPod?

there's no need to buy a BMW OEM Y-cable. my less than $10 "Y-cable" from dealextreme works fine with my iPod nano. i can control the ipod with steering wheel controls and MP3 song name is displayed on the professional radio screen. the only thing is that my car (E90 LCI) does not recognise my iPhone using the cable and i need to use the Aux-in for playing music from iphone. charging of iphone/ipod works fine with the cable as well.

anyway it's easier to just load music into a usb thumbdrive and play music from there compared to using the cable and ipod nano. saves space in the arm rest compartment as well.

Have 08/2005 E60 530. iDrive comes with the navigation system. Any idea whether iPod integration is possible? Any aux that can be used?
Thanks

Hi, I just got my 2006 E90 (325i) with iDrive navigation. Can someone advise how I can connect my Ipod/Iphone to the iDrive system? I see that there is an AUX inlet under the arm rest

Thanks in advance

3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable. Select aux input from your iDrive. But no steering wheel controls for iPod since you do not have USB 6fl option
