What are my options? (iPod)

Uptown Bully · 04-14-2010, 02:41 PM

I have a 2008 135i. I didn't not get i-drive or the factory installed iPod/USB interface. Under the center console there is the Aux plug.

What are my options for making an ipod work? With my old car I had to use something connected with a radio station and it was junk. I found something online but it looks like I'd have to get behind the CD player to plug it in and I'm not comfortable with that.

So...pay up and have them intall the usb interface? I assume it's the same thing I've found online. Or will something work with that Aux input under the center console?

I also notice they have a docking thing for the iPhone. They need one for the Droid!

You could get the BMW iPod interface fitted inside the glovebox

or if you don't want to spend big bucks, google griffin autopilot. - half decent option that does sound good

The dock for the iPhone remotes the antenna to the shark fin, so your cell connection should be markedly better.
