Thanks for your reply. The playlist-based system is also described in the iPodYourBMW owner's manual which I found on the front page, but the audio system represented in the manual is that of the older X5 (?). Are you able to see track names though ?

We're using playlists, and we can see the track titles...DH is the iPod expert, and I don't think he's tried scrolling through the album/artist index yet. He's got tons of music on his iPod, and playlists are easier. :thumbup:

Thanks. At least you can see the track names, which is nice.

Also, iPodYourBMW claims that you can sort your library by artist, album etc. but this article here says otherwise. My guess is that the article I linked to refers either to an option available on the previous (X53) model, or to to a kit that can be installed afterwards. Can someone confirm that the 6FL option can sort your library as described on iPodYourBMW ? And does it also show song names on the main display ?

Oh, and if someone has a 6FL installation that is working properly, I'd like to hear about you (looks like most people are having issues here) ;)

(if you think I should start a new topic for my question, please tell me)

Well mine was working fine up until today... firstly it found the flash drive and song and started playing - no sound (however thi smay have been the stroed info as I had used the drive before). Unplugged and plugged it back in.. now the Loading data from device stays on ... I'll check it tonight but it is definitely on the fritz.. all other entertainment works fine...

Tomorrow I pick up my X5 and supposed to have both the iPod issue and the DVD rear entertainment fixed.. IF SO, I will be sure to post what those fixes are, so you can talk to your SA's.

Went and checked my car just now & the USB audio is working again... I notice that as soon as I unlock the car the USB flash drive light flashes as well... That wasn't happening when it stopped working...!!!:confused:

I haven't been around for a few days…

Thanks for the pics, they really help! :)

Will the Ipod/Usb adaptor work with another mp3 or music player and show the albums, etc. in the IDrive display? Or do you have to buy and IPod to have the full display funtionality in the IDrive?

I've used flash drives and you can browse by genres etc.. I am not sure about other players.. it all depends I think on the USB connection method of the device.. if the connect via the USB mass storage option then you should be able to step through the mp3's in a directory type structure.. if however the player uses a proprietary software and storage system you will not be able to ...
