iPod Integration Cable for BMW

iPod Integration Cable from Bimmian

Product Introduction

Tired of using an FM transmitter with its low quality sound and poor connection? We now have two easy ways to connect your iPod or iPhone to your BMWs sound system. All you need is a USB plug or CD changer input, and an audio plug which is found on all models after 2006, and no software is required. (Some pre-2006 models will have these plugs.)

Features and Benefits Of This Product

We carry two types of solutions to help your connect audio and/or charge your device.

All options provide clear sound through the 3.5mm audio plug

Our USB equipped cables charge your iPod/iPhone while in operation

Our new 8 pin Apple connector also displays album art, as well as allowing full control in the latest iDrive vehicle models.

For vehicles without an AUX input we also have cables for plugging into your AUX CD changer input (creating an audio-in) and are specifically designed to fit your head unit, and provides a way for you to connect your device to your stereo, using the 3.5mm audio plug on the input end.

No charging function is available through this cable, however. In this case please use your standard cigarette lighter plug to charge your device. (not supplied.) These can be found at www.bimmian.com/AIB

Whether you want to have full control of your iPod/iPhone audio, or wish to use the vehicles controls to select playlists, genres, artists, albums and songs, one of these cables is right for you.

NOTE: iDRIVE IS NOT REQUIRED TO USE THE USB CONNECTIVITY CABLE.
