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.

i have the same problem in my 08 X6 with the playlists, they simply don't appear...

i updated my ipod to the latest firmware and i am using the apple usb cable...

any suggestion would be highly appreciated.

i think i answered myself and found the solution :)

did the cable come with the car , or u have to buy it thru the dealer?? i hv the IPOD interface on my M6 n works flawlessly.......hwvr, the playlists dont show unless u push ur Idrive a bit harder to scroll down to go thru 'em! is it the same problem?? ur feedbaks r appreciated

cheers

The cable came with the car, No I cannot see them!! do u have any idea?

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...

does anyone know a website that I can buy an OEM cable to sovle this issue?

Hey.. at last someone has the same problem as me! Unfortunately...:( I also cannot see my ipods playlist in my X5.. although i am using my own cable.. anyway i bought a 16gb usb stick and got rid of the ipod!:D Now i am thinking of buying a 32gb!:thumbup: but if someone find a solution it would be nice to know..
