BMW Playlist Setup. To listen to iPod music in your BMW, you can either create up to five unique BMW playlists within iTunes, or choose to listen to your entire library. Once you’ve transferred your BMW playlists to your iPod, just plug your iPod into your glovebox adapter cable, select a playlist and you’re ready to take your tunes on the road.
NOT COOL...

plus it doesn't give the track name information on the display, only "track 01", "track 02".... etc...

also the iPod is not available for passengers in your car to use either... One of the coolest things about driving with an iPod is that you can pass it around and let other people listen to what they want to (one song each )...

needs work...

but the audio quality is there...

AtAT's take:

Granted, it's not total control, but that would require, say, displaying the iPod screen output on a dashboard display and mapping the steering wheel itself to the scrollwheel-- and we figure that neither Apple nor BMW much liked the idea of their customers spinning themselves into doughnuts at 55 MPH every time they wanted to switch to a Sammy Hagar song while driving along the highway.


well... maybe its not so bad...
