2006 BMW 325 with built in ipod/mps connector ????

Ok, I'm stumped. I just took ownership of a new 2006 BMW 325xi with the "built in" ipod/mp3 connector. It's a small headphone like (I assu,e 3.5mm) jack and I can't find ANY information on what cable to use with it. Is there a dock like connector to 3.5mm headphone connector or do I plug it in as if the BMW was a headphone?
Does anyone have any information on these new built in connectors that BMW is using ? Specifically what freaking connector do I use ?
TIA,
Peter

Well, I found the answer, the new 2006 iPod/mp3 adapter is a generic plug, a std stereo 3.5mm connector comes out of the iPod and goes into a 3.5mm stereo jack and plays through the aux port on the BMW's radio. Its not a digital connector so all you can control is the volume not the playlist etc. This is less than optimal and not exacgtly what I would have envisioned but its there and it works.
Not quite what II as hoping for but,,,,
Thanks,

  • IPOD dock connector touch wheel in New BMW with built in USB connection

    HELP! I have a 2008 BMW 5 series that came with a built in USB Ipod connector.
    I have an older IPOD dock connector touch wheel that plugs right in to the plug that BMW gave me but won't read on the display.I tried another plug and still, the Ipod is not working in the car. Do I have to download additional software? Is my Ipod model not compatible with the new BMW ipod system. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

    Are you hoping to have the iPod serviced by Apple or a third party repair company?  If you want Apple to do the service, see this link.

  • Will the lightning to 30-pin adapter work with 2009 VW Jetta built-in iPod dock?

    I have a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta that has an iPod dock in the center console and I'm trying to listen to music from an iPhone 5S.
    Theoretically the Apple adapter should work with the VW iPod dock and my iPhone 5s. Can anybody confirm it? Also, will the adapter be able to charge my phone while connected?
    The ultimate goal is to get music from my phone play through the car's sound system. So another related questoin: is there a way to connect a bluetooth/wireless adapter to the iPod dock and stream music via iPhone 5S's bluetooth feature without modifying the car?
    What do you guys do and what are my options? Thank you in advance!

    No idea about a VW but my 07 BMW Z4 with BMW fitted iPod connector works fine with the Genuine Apple adapter using an iPod 7 with lightning socket play and charge

  • Models with Built in Speakers

    It seems that the only iPod with built in speakers is the iPod Touch. Is this correct?

    If you want a speaker you either have to go for the iPod touch (all generations except the 1st gen) or the 5th generation iPod nano. (only the 5th gen includes a speaker - this model was sold from 2009 - 2010.)

  • IPhone with my car ipod connection

    I have a 2007 with the built in ipod connection...will my iphone work in my car? im scared to plug my iPhone in. Please Help, thanx.

    It works if you plug it in I plug mine into my stereo iPod connection and it worked. It does tell you that its not compatiable when you plug it in, and then it gives you the option to switch to airplane mode just click no. I use it all the time I haven't really had any problems. Hope that helped.

  • Headphones with built-in AirTunes?

    Hi all,
    Note: I would have done a search first but it seems to be "temporarily" disabled for performance reasons.
    I know this really isn't exactly AirPort Express related but I didn't see anywhere else to ask. Is there such a thing as headphones with built-in AirTunes? So far, I can't find such a beast. I am surprised no one has come out with AirTunes headphones. The AirPort Express is nice to connect to my stereo in another room. But, many times, I'd like to have a set of wireless headphones that can receive music and other audio via AirTunes.
    Yes, I can use my iPod around the house but I still have a cord going between my iPod and the headphones which can get caught on corners and drawer/cabinet handles. With a set of AirTunes headphones, I can walk around the home listening to audio from my Mac. This could also be handy for folks with Macbooks or Macbook Pros to wirelessly listen to music/audio from the notebook computer.
    Any suggestions or thoughts on this would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Steven

    This device would need to be recognized by iTunes as a destination for music streaming. AFAIK no such device exists.
    You may want to check in the iTunes discussion area to see if they have know of any devices other than an AirPort Express (AX) to which iTunes can stream music.

  • Do I need to set up anything for a hard drive with built-in disk encryption?

    I have a new lenovo x61 that has a hard drive with built in disk encryption.
    Do I need to activate the built-in encryption or is it automatic?

    Re: link posted by RealBlackStuff - that article from 2006 is not talking about the drives with built-in full-disk encryption that are now an option on some thinkpads.
    Here's an article about the drives from when Hitachi (and Seagate) launched them just a few months ago:
    http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/08/30/35TC-drive-encryption_1.html
    Unfortunately, it doesn't provide as many details on the devices as I would like but it's a decent overview. (I still wish Lenovo would better document how to use the device and exactly what it protects against.)

  • Shuffle with built in car adapter  or aux ?

    I just got a Scion & it comes with a built in iPod connector. The trouble is, the connector isn't a regular USB like my Shuffle - it's the one that's on the other iPods. Does anyone know of an adapter that would work ? There's also a mini plug aux but it won't power the unit (the iPod connector will but it's the wrong kind of connector !). Help !!!!!!

    Your dealer should have given you a cord (in a plastic baggie)that adapts to the connector port in your car and the iPod Base Dock Connector on the bottom of your iPod which will work with any iPod with a base connector. If not call your dealership and tell them you didn't receive it.

  • IPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers?

    iPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers? I downloaded old version of Numbers 2.0.1 from DVD but with both versions the 2.0.1 will not open.  So both versions are present but only the new version functions. I tried to drag the new version to the trash but the old version still runs error message and will not open. I did not try to restart with the new version in the trash.

    Maybe. See:

  • Can I use multiple computers with the same iPod?

    Hello all, I own a desktop computer, and just recently bought my first laptop. I have iTunes already installed and my iPod synced on the desktop. Now I just installed iTunes on the laptop, and want to sync the iPod on the laptop also, so I can have two computers synced with the same iPod. Can that be done? Any info is greatly appeciated, thank you.

    what Niel said is correct.
    however, there might be a (semi) workaround. check this thread for pointers: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11524444#11524444.

    The BT profiles on the iPod do not support direct iPod-to-iPod use.  There are apps that support peer-to-peer gaming between iPods and maybe transfer like for photos.  Also see:

  • I found an old Apple id on a computer I use infreqently with an old Ipod.  I have the the Applie ID, but I do not have the password.  In addition,my email account has changed since I created this Applie ID. How can I get reset info to new email address?

    I found an old Applie ID on a computer I use infreqently with an old IPod.  I do not have the password for this AppleID.  When I use the procedure to reset the password, I cannot receive the email as my email address has changed from the original used with the Apple ID.  How can I get the reset information sent to my current email addres so I can establish a new passwod for this Applie ID? 

    FR Tecmobility is wrong, sure he means well but what he suggests will not work - signing out of iTunes Store and back in will have no effect on iCloud. Try the steps at iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    You may need to contact apple tech support if none of the password change methods work for you. Ask for Account Security. They will need to verify identity, to ensure you are who you claim to be. If that goes well, they can send a password rest e-mail to any e-mail you desigate, so make sure it is one you can access.  Then reset the password. Then you can delete the iCloud account (needs the password to turn off find My Phone/Activation lock)
    keep data on phone, then sign in with your desired apple ID. Good luck. hope you get this sorted out.
