I downloaded the update but the idive doesn't recognize it when I insert the memory stick into the USB slot. not sure what the people's is.

I did the update, but my ipod will still freeze peridiocally at least once a week occurance.

I tried using both just the apple usb cable & the Y-adapter bmw cable.. both end up freezing at one point or another..

I hope BMW finds a solution for this because doing some searches it seems like this happens to a lot of newer bmw owners.

People are talking about it on the apple site as welll..

doing some more searches on google.. using the keywords "bmw ipod freezes" it seems like a lot of people have are having the same issue.. and of course bmw is going to say "it is apples fault" most likely.

I have an Ipod Nano 4th gen (the longer body) plugged into the AUX with an ebay cable (not apple) and it works perfectly.

Interesting. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that the nano uses flash memory whereas the classic ipod uses a hard drive. Just a thought because the OP is using a classic and so am I.

i use the bmw Y cable and it happened to me once but I thought it was my ipod that was doing it.

My biggest pet peeve is how it starts playing from the beginning each time I turn on the car. how the hell has bmw not figured out these simple things?? I haven't heard any other car manufactures with the integradable ipod have this issue. Sometimes, I find myself really feeling that BMWs are way over rated...but that's just MHO

My wife's Sonata has bluetooth streaming music from my Android. I wish I had that, but a new '13 X3 loaner I had couldn't even do that. It does bluetooth voice fine and it shows the audio option but nothing happens. WTF BMW.

I usually check the "random" option in idrive and it startes weherever it left off when I turned the car off.
