Trouble is I haven't got an Ipod. I have a 40Gig mp3 player. Unfortunately My Sept 05 X5 seems to be about 1 month too early to have an MP3 cd player. I agree though that it is not a cortina and I therefore want it to look good or will not do it at all. I do have a 60Gig video/mp3 player that can plug into the AV socket but it is not good for music because of the non-syncing screen.

I think I will just stick to the cd player and keep swapping discs. Just interested at the moment on what is possible.

I am off to the lake district tomorrow so will have to take a few discs with me!
