USB/audio interface
You can connect audio devices to the USB/
audio interface, e.g. an iPod or a USB device
(MP3 player, USB memory stick). You can then
operate these va iDrive.
The system can play back common audio files,
e.g. MP3, WMA, WAV (PCM) and ACC, as well
as playback lists in the M3U format.
Due to the large number of audio devices avail-
able on the market, operation via the vehicle
cannot be ensured for every audio device.
Ask your BMW center which audio devices are
suitable.
Connecting
1USB interface
2Connection for audio playback:
1/8 in/3,5 mm jack plug
iPod
To connect the iPod, use the BMW cable
adapter for Apple iPods. For more information,
please contact a BMW center or consult our
website: www.bmw.com
For audio playback via the vehicle loudspeak-
ers, connect the iPod to the connections1
and2.
The menu structure of the iPod is supported by
the USB/audio interface.
USB storage medium
Use a flexible adapter cable for connec-
tion to protect the USB interface and your
USB device against mechanical damage.<
For audio playback via the vehicle loudspeak-
ers, connect the USB device to the connec-
tion1.
After connecting for the first time, the informa-
tion of all tracks (e.g. artist, music genre) and
the playback lists of the USB device are trans-
ferred to the vehicle. This process can take
some time. The time required is dependent on
the USB device and on the number of tracks.
During the transfer you can select the tracks via
the directories and file names.
Following the transfer you can call up the tracks
via the information and playback lists.
The information of up to four USB devices can
be stored in the vehicle, for a total of approx.
20,000 tracks.
If a fifth USB device is connected, the informa-
tion of the tracks of the first USB device stored
in the vehicle is deleted.
Music tracks with integrated Digital
Rights Management (DRM) cannot be
played.<

proper playback cannot always be ensured.

>Do not connect any devices, e.g. fans or
lamps, to the USB/audio interface.
>Do not connect USB hard disks.
