My X5 is "at the preparation center" so I should receive it this week! Too late to reorder-plus I've already waited 6 weeks!
I have the BMW iPod interface in my 650i. It is by far better than just an "aux' interface. it "emulates" the CD Changer in the iDrive. Full test displays (2 line is an option)

CD1 = Playlists
CD2 = Artists
CD3 = Albums
CD4 = ?
CD5 = ?
CD6 = Podcasts

I'm not 100% sure of the order, I rarely use anything other than the playlists.

by far the best iPod interface available. I have the DICE in my E53 and IMHO it's a pile of crap. This is the #1 thing I dislike about my X5 and is pushing me to upgrade to the E70.
