[QUOTE="saat, post: 381831, member: 77"] I do have a similar cable made by Belkin. It cost me only SGD35. For a while I used this with an iPod USB cable to keep the iPod on charge. The problem with this setup is that you can only control it using the iPod. Nothing appears on the dash display. You can only control volume on the radio and steering controls. As mentioned in my earlier post, with the BMW iPod Adapter cable, the song titles, genre, playlist, album will be displayed on the dash. You can scroll thru the titles and select songs/genre/playlist/album using the radio and steering controls without ever touching the iPod. I keep the iPod tucked away in the centre console and it will stay charged. Again as mentioned, the installation is simple. One end of the cable is connected to the iPod and the other end there's a split. One is a USB connector which you plug into the USB port in your center console. The other is a mini headphone jack which connect to the AUX port next to the USB port. It is as simple as that. I figured you can control the songs similarly thru the iDrive. As mentioned, I dont have an iPhone to test. You are welcome to come over to my place in Subang Jaya if you want to test the cable before buying. PM me. P.S. But on second thot, if you have iDrive, you can transfer your songs from a thumb drive into your iDrive HD and play it from there. [/QUOTE]
