Ipod cable advice need

X5 Meister · #1 03-01-2008, 06:02 PM

Can someone recommend a place to get a cable to connect an ipod to the Aux audio input? I am specifically looking for a cable that will connect to the BOTTOM connector to an ipod so that it provides line-out output. I know that BMW makes a cable specifically for the 6FL option which is a Y-cable that has a USB and 3.5mm connector on one end and a connects to the bottom of the ipod on the other end. Any idea if BMW makes a cable for just the aux input case? Lastly, I prefer the cable to be black (not white) if that is possible. Thanks for the help.

Is that a BMW item ? If so what is the P/N? and does it come in different lengths or colors?

This is not a BMW item, the cable comes in white only.

Why not buy it from the one guy on this board that can, and has, helped you? Dude, it is just a few bucks, and is exactly what you need!

I probably will, but I'm still trying to find one in black and he only has it in white.

Why do you want to shell out extra dough for a BMW cable? BMW doesn't make their own cable anyway...they just rebadge it and add a 50% premium. It's just copper wires...nothing special.

It will work with all iPods that have a dock connector, this is not a BMW part.

Only available in white.
