iPod Compatible with E70?
 
I want to purchase an E70 but the iPod compatibility is very important for me. What kind of integration do they have?

There are two options available the newer 6FL is the best option.

I'm getting the dealer instaled version of the 6FL this week for about $600.00 (not sure what it's called?) I will let you know what I think of it when I pick up the X next Monday when I get back from Costa Rica. If you order your X5, it's available from the factory as an option.

I was about to get this option but the dealer could not be sure exactly how it would operate with idrive. would be very interested to know if it was the same as the factory fit.

That's not what they told me! According to the dealer, it should be the same... We shall see.

The dealer is totally misinformed. The 6FL option can not be retrofitted to the X5. Your option will use the CD changer menus to select playlists...it works but not nearly as elegant as the 6FL option. Its also mounted in the glove box (instead of center console) and does not use the USB host connection.

It's amazing that the dealers are still so misinformed about this.

I saw a demo and the cd changer was not used. (I don't have it anyway) They are calling it a kit. :dunno:
From what I saw, it looked liked it performed like the 6FL??? It's all a mystery!

btw- looks like they finally have a website for the Ipod options. This is what the dealer will install:
