Music Options for base stereo with Idrive
Just picked up last week my 135i with Nav, bmw tele services, etc and the data card for this car indicates I have USB/Audio Interface and Sat Tuner Prep. I found the below cable online, ordered it and surprisingly got it today, but when I connect my ipod, all that happens is it reads my ipod like a hdd? Is my car not Ipod ready?
I read that I can put MP3's on a usb memory stick play them from there, but you can't do apple lossless from a usb. Does the same apply to an ipod? All my music is encoded lossless...do I have to buy and install a separate control box to get ipod? would my car be pre-wired for this?
What would does one need to do to get Sat radio working? do these cars just come pre-wired but you need the little box to activate?
As a side note, I'm an old Car audio installer so know my way around 12volt products, but only having this car for two days has me trying to gather way to much information for the time period...
