Problems with IPOD and exiting car.
hi guys just got my 530d yesterday and im having two problems that someone might help me out with
1 . i have the option to connect my ipod thru usb and aux. but ive tried two different ipod's CLASSIC and ITOUCH and none of them display the cover art ? 2. when i turn off the car with the stop button is there any way of turning off the radio or does it turn off until i exit the car and press lock ? thanks |

Don't know about the cover art, but to turn off the radio, hit the start/stop button one more time before you exit the car. Once to stop the engine, again to turn everything off.

If you have a car produced from September on, then all you need to use to hook up your IPod is the cable you get from Apple..... and plug directly into the USB port in the center armrest console. You do not need to use the Y-Cable. As long as you have cover art in your IPod, it should show on the screen. If your car was made prior to September, then you do need to use the Y-Cable and will not be able to see album cover artwork. There may be a programming update next year to remedy this, but unknown at this time. |

You can also press and hold the start/stop button for 1-2 seconds and that will shut everything off. Glad you got the album art working!

Sorry, I stand corrected. Worked that way on my '08 550 and still does on my '11 M3. Just assumed they left it that way...
