I have the BMW Ipod interface cable installed through the glove box ('06 X5 3.0, non-nav, single CD). ( I assume that this uses the 'Aux' input on the back of the radio). When I insert an IPOD and cycle through the radio options from FM--> CD--> [AUX] IPOD the radio recognizes the ipod and I am able to utilize it through the radio controls.

When attempting to utilize and aftermarket AUX cable that hooks into the IPOD interface using the 'female' end of the IPOD, the radio states, "NO MAGAZINE"; and as a result I am not able to hook an AUX cable and use it.

I am attempting to connect my SIRIUS Starmate FM/AUX directly to the IPOD with no luck.

Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Thanks
