I have read so much information regarding this topic on various sites....... but I am still no wiser.

My, recently new to me, e70 2007 X5 3.0D doesn't have a USB socket, but there is an AUX socket under the split armrest. I have an iPod Classic 160Gb with stacks/lots of music on it...... would a 3.5mm jack to jack lead, connected from the AUX to the iPod head phone socket, plus the original lead connected from the iPod to a USB type charging plug do the job, or will the quality be absolute shite ???? (For those from across the pond, I am English, so I apologise for using our correct terminology )

Oh, and I do enjoy banter, I have many friends and a few relatives on the other side of the pond
