USB audio interface*
You can connect audio devices to the USB
audio interface, e.g. an iPod or a USB device
(MP3 player, USB memory stick). You can then
operate these via iDrive.
USB device
Use a flexible adapter cable for connec-
tion to protect the USB interface and your
USB device against mechanical damage.<
The system can play back common audio files,
e.g. MP3, WMA, WAV (PCM) and ACC, as well
as playback lists in the M3U format.
For audio playback via the vehicle speakers,
connect the USB device to the connection 1.
After connecting for the first time, the informa-
tion of all tracks (e.g. artist, music genre) and
the playback lists of the USB device are trans-
ferred to the vehicle. This process can take
some time. The time required is dependent on
the USB device and on the number of tracks.
Due to the large number of audio devices avail-
able on the market, operation via the vehicle
cannot be ensured for every audio device.
Ask your BMW center which audio devices are
suitable.
During the transfer you can select the tracks via
the directories and file names.
Connecting
Following the transfer you can call up the tracks
via the information and playback lists.
The information of up to four USB devices can
be stored in the vehicle, for a total of approx.
20,000
tracks.
If a fifth USB device is connected, the informa-
tion of the tracks of the first USB device stored
in the vehicle is deleted.
Music tracks with integrated Digital
Rights Management (DRM) cannot be
played.<
