6FL option (USB) & iPod

Hi all

Anyone else in ZA ordered their 1er with the 6FL (USB audio interface) option?

Forsdicks Sandton gave me a useless little USB extension cable instead of the proper iPod USB Y-cable that is required to get the iPod to work properly and it seems nobody there knows anything about the USB interface.

I've actually sent them photos of the cable which BMW North America have the good sense to supply with all vehicles fitted with the 6FL option, but haven't been able to track a part code for it.

Has anyone else in ZA managed to source this cable? Or did your dealer supply it with your vehicle?

In the mean time I've copied some music onto a regular memory stick and it works a treat, but a lot of my favorites are DRM-encoded and therefore won't play without the proper iPod integration.
