If You Are Thinking About an IPod Adapter BMW and Your Vehicle was Built Before 2006, You'll Want to Read About This.

In fact, the ipod adapter bmw has been available from Apple since 2004, and was the first such adapter available for any motor vehicle. This adapter for your iPod hides behind your radio, and the cable that connects it to your vehicle's audio system lurks in the glove box - so there are no unsightly cords laying about the passenger compartment. The iPod adapter BMW allows you to control this device from either the radio or the steering wheel. This adapter serves as an interface between either your iPod or your iPod mini, and essentially replaces the CD changer. In fact, the display won't look any different.

The iPod adapter BMW supports seven different functions. You can play from up to five different self-created playlists from iTunes as well as all music content stored on your iPod. The iPod adapter BMW is capable of scanning each track in a playlist for up to ten seconds, and (except for the Z3 and Z4 roadsters) can repeat the selected track currently being played. You can shuffle your selected playlist, and easily navigate through all tracks easily and quickly.

In addition to these features, the iPod adapter BMW actually charges your iPod battery whilst it is plugged in.

It is important to understand that not all BMW vehicles support the ipod adapter bmw; if you aren't certain, it's a good idea to contact a car audio professional or a BMW dealer to find out if the iPod adapter BMW is compatible with your specific model.

There were also many limitations and problems with the early ipod adapter bmw. Most of these have been eliminated, so it's best to avoid an older or used iPod adapter BMW and go with the latest version. Currently, the latest iPod adapter BMW is priced in the neighborhood of $160, which is up a bit from earlier - but still a good deal for a BMW audio accessory.
