@whoopy-do - Yes, I have read the cable from BMW will resolve the issue. However, after specifying the USB/iPod connectivity I cannot see how BMW warrant charging extra for the cable (although, I convinced the dealer to gift this to me ).

I have also read of people upgrading software in their cars and iPods - unsure why such effort is required to make an existing product work.

Anyway, just my two pennies worth. Happy motoring to all and any ideas would be appreciated.

I just found out our vehicle is being built in week 4 for delivery 2nd or 3rd week in March
