Exclamation ipod Playlists complatibility x5 and x6

Hello friends,

A colleague of mine bought an x6 with full extras, but I would like to clarify with you if anyone knows. He connect the ipod and he can play and scroll the songs but if he create a playlist, it doesnt appear. He never manage to play his playlists in his car. Is there a known issue on this subject?

P.S I would like to know if anyone has the same issue in X5

thanks

Marios

Mine plays my Playlists.


My issue is that the battery on the I-pod runs down if it stays conected when the car is not being used, as there is always a 'OK to Disconnect' sign on its screen.

Sounds like it may be the way he has his iPod configured.
Our 05 530i has no trouble playing all configurations.

i am pretty sure that having the right OEM cable will solve all the problems for the new cars with both USB and AUX inputs...
