I just thought I would share one bit of information for those who either don't have an Ipod or who have a large amount of music files in WMA (Windows Media Format). A friend at work with a new 335 tried this for me while I am waiting on my 135. He used a USB thumb drive with both MP3's and WMA's and it played them both just fine and displayed the title, artist, info. I have a Zune and want to put my WMA's on either a large thumb drive or portable hard drive to use in my 135.

By the way, thanks for the explanation of the option difference above. My salesman had no clue as the difference in the two but suggested I get the Ipod/USB option which I did. Thanks again!

I added the IPOD option actually after I had ordered the car because I was unaware how much I would actually use it...wow, I use it ALL THE TIME. So glad I got it from the factory!

Thanks Dan for posting this... my dealer offered to install this themselves gratis for accepting their inflated deal on a car they had. They said it was no different "it hooks up your ipah" they said. Now I know to either accept a loaded car another dealer has at $46K or order my own at around $43K... Thank you!

AUX port is for input only.
Quote:
If you are using the AUX cable, then the head unit can only accept the output from the MP3 player (Ipod, or whatever). It is not possible for the head unit to control anything on the Ipod/MP3 player) through the AUX. If you want random play, you'd have to select that on the Ipod/MP3 player. I also run my Sirius receiver through the AUX port. The head unit can't control any of the sirius settings, that has to be done by the external receiver. |
