As far as charging the iPhone / iPod etc, there are USB / cigarette lighter jacks available for £2 / £3 here in the UK - works fine with our iTouch

As I'll be replacing my 3GS with the "4G/HD" as soon as it comes out, I hope they provide a suitable adapter soon.

I did not spend the extra money for the extended connectivity as I have a Blackberry so I connect that via Bluetooth instead and it works perfectly. |

I've been using the cord now for a week and so far it has been doing really well, but I have a slight problem, as I have songs in Chinese and Japanese which are coded in UniCode, the display is not showing any of the characters (i.e. it shows "???")... is there a language patch that I can get BMW to install onto iDrive to display this?
Thanks. |

Can you try to copy some those unicode files onto a USB-falsh-drive. If you attach the flash-drive to your car are the names displayed correctly?
The problem could be in both, the iPod-cord and/or the sat-nav-unit. You won't have any luck "patching" the cord, there _might_ be a future software upgrade vor your sat-nav. bye Darky |

I picked up my X1 today. The iPhone4 dock they say (have confirmed with rival dealer) is not available until early 2011.
I bought the Y iOS device cable. Everytime I plug the iPhone in it says on the iPhone that the accessory is not designed for the phone or something? It still works, but looks messy. |

My car is equipped with 609 Pnavigation, 644 Bluetooth, 6FL USB but not 6NF, with the USB Iphone cradle do you know if the Iphone music can be played via drive in Y-cable fashion? If not, do you know if 6NF can be retrofitted? Thanks in advance. Boxy |

Other than the simple 3.5mm aux port which offers inferior sound, you may consider retrofit USB interface, or the Ipod connection kit. Between the two, both are costly retrofits yet the ipod connection kit offers better sound quality than USB port input.

Hi everyone
I was reading on some other threads about the 6VC Combox option that is being fitted from September 2010 that provides full iPod/iPhone iTunes intergration and office support. It's said that this option has already been fitted to some cars and can be fully operational with a software upgrade. Anyone got this option on their X1's? |
