I have tried two different i-Pod Nano's via the 6FL USB hub and both crap out to FM at completely random intervals. Thought that Traffic Info may be interupting so switched off TP - didn't help. Even happens when the car is stationary with the engine off. Might load some tunes onto a memory stick and try that out.

Thing is though, I spec'd the 6FL instead of the 6 disc CD changer. The changer can't be retro fitted and I need my sounds. At the moment my Hi-fi speaker upgrade is going to waste, not to mention my new I-Pod bought specially for the car.

I mentioned this fault to a main dealer (not my supplying dealer) who acted all suprised. IMHO he wasn't a very good actor.

Taking my X5 back to my supplying dealer tomorrow so they can attempt to fix the fault. Ironically, exactly one week after I took delivery of it.

P***ed Off that my new car has a fault - so much so that I haven't posted any pics of it yet, I don't care if 6FL is only a £205 option - it is part of a £50K car and everything should work flawlessly.

I'll let you know how I get on. The I-Pod interface lead (for the glovebox)is potentially an alternative fix but I can't say I'm over-joyed at this prospect. I don't even know if I should consider it - BMW has to get the 6FL working...

...don't they?????
