Canadian USB audio integration

'Chartered Accountant' (CA) in Canada is equal of a CPA (Certified Professional Accountant, I think) in the US.

Isn't SA a Sales Associate?

BTW, notice on the Canadian options sheet there is no mention of 'iPod'. It's called 'USB integration', whereas in the US it's called 'iPOD/USB integration'. I think that gets BMW Canada off the hook for including the cable with the car... sneaky buggers...

spudw,

YUP but as it was told to me by my SA... it's because not everyone has an IPOD so they make that an option. Hmmm maybe those in USA can eBay their ipod cable to us Canucks with SA that won't include it for no additional cost.

As an update, I read the technical training manual, and it states that you can connect an iPod (Gen 4 or later) to the USB port with a standard cable ... BUT ... due to DRM issues, it will not allow access to iTunes content over USB. If all your iPod music is MP3, I believe, you can use a standard USB cable.
