07' usb/ipod issue
 

I have a 07' X5, with IPOD/USB setup in the armrest. I also have the 6 disc changer in the glove compartment.

Issues:

- My 6 disc changer is just flashing constantly and will not accept any disc

- In the i-drive my usb is grayed out

- I can play music thorough my AUX port for IPOD or iPhone

- I cannot charge or get any functionality from my USB

Can anyone shed some light on this, or experience this issue before?

My '11 35d experienced the USB issue, where my iPhone was no longer connecting, nor could any of the ports charge it (tried with another phone and cable). Made an appointment with dealer (tomorrow). However, the functionality came back yesterday. Will keep the apointment and let them look at it, since there are other issues as well:

1. Rear driver-side passenger door looks a couple mm out of it's place. Doesn't look good with door welcome lights
2. Brake pedal goes side-to-side a bit.

1900 miles on the odometer. In a month!

Make a list and drop it off at the dealer, make sure they don't give you its "normal" crap.

Thanks.
The guy I talked to didn't give me any talk back, so I am assuming everything will go smoothly.
And in case I need to, I can go and compare my vehicle to others right there on the lot! Except for the USB issue of course.

Keep me posted.

Any update on this?

They adjusted the doors - look better now.
For brake pedal, they said that it plays side to side in other x5s as well.
Couldn't reproduce the issue with USB. Told me I need to use BMW cables. That was it.
4,700 miles now.

Thanks for the update, unfortunately my X is in the shop for a quite a few electrical bugs. :dunno:
