USB-audio interface*
You can connect audio devices, e.g. an iPod or
a USB device (MP3 player, USB stick), to the
USB-audio interface. They can be operated via
iDrive.
The iPod's menu structure is supported by the
USB-audio interface.
USB device
Standard audio formats, e.g. MP3, WMA, WAV
(PCM) and AAC, and playlists in the M3U format
can be played.
To connect the device, use the included
flexible adapter cable to protect the USB
interface and your USB device against physical
damage.<
Due the variety of audio devices on the market,
it cannot be guaranteed that every device will
be operable on the vehicle.
Ask your BMW center about what audio devices
are suitable.
To play audio tracks over the vehicle's loud-
speaker system, connect the USB device to
port 2.
After the device is connected for the first time,
the information on all tracks (e.g. artist, type of
music) and the playlists are transferred from the
USB device to the vehicle. This procedure may
take some time. The duration depends on the
USB device and the number of tracks.
Connecting
Lift up the center armrest.
During transfer, you can select the tracks using
the directories and file names.
After transfer, you can call up the tracks using
the information and playlists.
Information from up to four USB devices or for
about 20,000 tracks can be stored on the vehi-
cle.
If a fifth USB device is connected and if more
than 20,000 tracks are to be stored, the infor-
mation on existing tracks may be lost.
