Ipod install on a 07?

[jbachman002]

Anyone have any experience with the ipod kit (updated part number 65-11-0-439-429) working with the iPhone's 3GS or 4G? I'm looking at it for my 07 e70, prewired for CD changer (without the changer) and sans the USB integration.

the ipod integration add-on that i have is part # 65-11-0-036-446. bmw service receipt labels it "ipod i/f most kit". not sure how it's different that the part you mention above. however, it seems to be the same, i.e. it utilizes the cd changer control and is accessible via the glove box. this was installed on my E70 on jan 28, 2008. it was installed prior to G3S and of course G4 iphones, but it definitely does work with them (that is, definitely with 3GS, and i'm pretty sure G4). the only thing that doesn't work 'as is' with these newer gen iphones/ipods is that it won't charge them. i believe this is because newer gen iphones/pods use a different/newer charging technology (usb i guess). that said, as per previous posts, you can overcome that flaw by simply purchasing the Scosche passport, which is simply a small adapter that plugs on the end of the ipod cord in the glove box. this devise apparently converts the charge from the car into the charge usable by the iphone. i'm going on the word of the other poster (and the advertising of the product) on this -- i have ordered the devise, but not yet received, so i personally cannot say for fact that it works, although i'll be very surprised if not.
