Lost iPod connection
 
Yesterday i disconnected my iPod from BMW:s iPod adapter as usual. Put it back after a while and stereo doesnt find it any more. The iPod was only disconnected for a while, was not updated or anything.
It charges normally but the BMW "mode" does not come on.

Any ideas what is causing this? Or better yet, to make it work again...

Check the inline fuse to see if it has blown.

What's inline in german?
 
My fusebox has everything in german. Found the radio fuse (row 1, fuse 7), but can't find inline fuse.

Thanks

You'll have to go behind the dash to inspect the connections.

i meant that i don't know where the inline fuse is located.

Did BMW install the kit for you? If so, simply have them inspect the connections as this type of thing would be covered under factory warranty.

yes, it is dealer installed. Only pain is that it usually takes about two weeks before they do anything.
But you think the problem has something to do with the connections?

Possibly. At the risk of voiding the warranty if the part is defective, I would recommend having the dealer take a look.

X5fwc 05-14-2007 02:36 PM

Okay, i'll do that.
Thanks

Well, the install had 12 months warranty, which has (of course) expired and don't want to spend any money on this car cause new E70 is crossing the atlantic for me.
So no iPod for the beemer for 40 days. Just typical that these things work for one year and then comes issues...

Thanks for your advice Tom G.
