Ipod connector for Mini Cooper

This week I took delivery of my very first Mini Cooper which I'm very excited about (). I have an aux cable so can listen to my iPod Classic in the car however I can't use the controls on my steering wheel to change the tracks nor are the songs showing on the display. I've read that I need a Y Cable connector (I think!) but not sure which is the one I need? (the car is a 2014 plate)
Would appreciate any advice!
Thanks

Presumably, the AUX cable plugs into your headphone socket on the iPod. If so, that method cannot charge the iPod or be controlled from the steering wheel.
Your car's stereo will need a cable that plugs into the 30-pin Dock connector on the iPod and goes into an input on the car that is designed for that sort of connection. From there, the car's stereo should be able to control the iPod and charge it. Note my use of the word "should". The AUX socket of a car's stereo will not work.
I recommend that you talk to the supplier of the car.

  • IPod nano with mini cooper

    I have the mini factory iPod connector installed in my mini. It works great with my iPod mini. I just purchased a nano. when I plug the nano into the car, it works fine, but when disconnecting the nano stays in the "mini" mode. The only way I have found to recover from this is to either reset the nano or plug it into my iMac. Has anyone seen this probelm and if so any resolutions?
    Thanks.

    Did the 6th gen. nano have any changes to the connection port??
    No. 
    Try resetting the iPod before trying to connect it again to see if that makes any difference. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, try another cable just to be sure.

  • Aux cable for Mini Cooper too short for Iphone.

    Just purchased a Mini Cooper and the AUX cord that connects the Iphone to the Bluetooth is too short to reach my vehicial mount.  I need a longer cord or an extention.  Anyone have any ideas?

    You said it was an aux cable. nothing you said indicated it was proprietary in any way. If it is not an aux cable, but a dock cable, those are usually proprietary to the auto manufacturer. If they don't have anything, try e-bay, but beware the cheap chinese junk out there.

  • Ipod Lockout for MINI

    I noticed that on the Ipod nano they have that feature that allows you to lock the ipod... I was wondering if someway possible you could get that same app with the Ipod Mini....?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    No, not now. Not unless Apple adds this feature in a future iPod software update (which I do not believe is very likely).
    Ouch, I should not speculate about possible future Apple products here.

  • IPhone 4S dock connecter quiet while using USA SPEC PA15-INFI ipod adapter for car

    Hello,
    I recently installed the USA SPEC PA15-INFI Ipod connector for my 2004 infiniti g35.  http://usaspec.com/userfiles/editor/file/pa15infi_20100120_webuse.pdf  Essentially it plugs into my satelite radio harness in the trunk and acts as an adapter for an ipod/iphone so you can listen to them on the radio.
    I personally have a 4S iphone and it works great. Great sound.  Full functionality.  However, I tried using my wife's 4S and the radio recognizes it but when you play music it's SUPER quiet.  Almost mute.  It's only on this phone.  In addition to my phone, i tried an ipod and it works great as well.  I callled USA SPEC and they didn't know the problem.  They said this was a problem with my wife's phone specifically and had no suggestions.
    I know my wifes 4S (the problem phone) dock connector works because I just confirmed it on 2 other devices.  Full sound.  No problems.
    Fixes that I have tried:
    Hard reset
    Confirmed mono sound is off
    Confired max volume limiter is off
    reset all settings
    Thanks ahead of time for all of your help!

    I think I know the sound you're referring to, but I had no idea what caused it. I can't recall if it only happenned when charging in the car, but it's bloody irritating.

  • 7th generation nano & 2013 mini cooper connector

    I have a ipod nano 7th generation and a custom 2013 mini cooper.  Is there a connector that does double duty (connect to mini and charges at the same time)?  After about 1.5 hours of playing my nano in my mini the battery on my nano died.  Thanks.

    For idiots like me, this is what you need to get back to charging:

  • Ipod And Mini Cooper

    I have a brand new 5.5 Generation Ipod Video, and a 2006 mini cooper with the factory installed ipod adaptor. When I plug the adaptor into the ipod (it's a regular dock connector), they recognize each other at first, but after one or two songs, I am no longer able to switch tracks or playlists. It seems like the ipod freezes up. Then when I go to remove the ipod from the adaptor, the screen is stuck on the "ok to disconnect" screen that shows when the ipod is connected. I'm forced to reset the ipod every time I take it out of the car. Any ideas why the ipod and the adaptor don't seem to be working? Everything is fine for one or two songs, and then something happens and it gets stuck. The ipod came with firmware 1.2, and I have itunes 7.0.1 on my computer. The mini dealership advised me to contact apple, they say it's not the adaptor causing the problem. Help!

    Here's an idea, but you may not like it. I have had success in "down-dating" my iPod to software verion 1.1. Every time I've updated my iPod to any software version after 1.1, I too lose functionality of the iPod with my Mini's controls after two or three songs.
    Sure, you're working on older iPod software, but the audio quality doesn't change. If you have games and other things on your iPod 5G that requires the latest software, you'll have to tolerate your un-functioning iPod in your Mini. But otherwise, "down-date" your iPod software to 1.1 and it'll be fine. You can find that software at this link: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ipodupdater20060110.html
    Good luck!

    I reconnected the iPod with the radio off and then turned radio on. iPod still wouldn't work for me, but the Genius at the Apple Store was able to get it going. He restored the software and advised me to charge it. Now it's working fine. Yea!

  • I have same Apple ID for iPhone iPad and my daughters iPod and iPad mini. Can I obtain another iCloud account for her without changing her Apple ID. She had a iCloud account on old iPod bit can't retrieve it.

    Me and my daughter have same Apple ID for my iPhone iPad and her iPod and iPad mini. Is there any way to get an iCloud account for her devices without changing her Apple ID. She has an old iCloud account from older iPod but  can't activate it or remember her old iCloud account.
    Thanks

    You have to use a different Apple ID to create a new iCloud account (each ID can only be used with a single account).  You don't have to use the ID for anything else though, she can continue to use her current ID for other services such as iTunes, iMessage, FaceTime, etc.
    The only limitation is that each device can only create three iCloud accounts.

  • IPod Camera Connector for the iPod Touch

    I have an iPod Camera Connector for a previous model of iPod. Now that I have an iPod Touch, when I try to use it I get an error message that states this device is not supported. Has iPod created a Camera Connector to upload pictures from a card larger than a 512mg card (ie a 2+ GB card or larger) that is supported by the iPod touch?
    Thanks,
    Denice

    I don't believe so, as the iPod touch doesn't support "disk use" (it doesn't mount as a hard drive on your computer).

  • Fully charged the ipod works for 2 mins, and then shuts down, why?!

    Fully charged the ipod works for 2 mins, gives the battery warning and then shuts down. I took it to an apple store, they said battery is fine, restored ipod to original settings and it still wont work! Help!

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. This time be more persistent.
