AlpineMsix is on a distinguished road
aux/usb, usb only and cradle

Just got a 2011 x5m. I do have the bmw apps option.. My question is;

What is the difference between using the usb/aux Y cord in the center console?

Using the USB cable inside the glovebox?

And using the CRADLE inside the glovebox for the iphone?


I am asking because I can get my ipod to work through the Y cable but does not show any artwork but does show all the titles, album name etc.

In the cradle my iphone works as a phone, and can view my facebook.. but when it comes time to playing music, it wont play any music there will be ZERO sound but it will have the song title etc and ARTWORK!

THE USB inside the glovebox does not do anything, i tried syncing it with my iphone, ipod and an external drive.. nothing worked?


Help please
