E92 iPod integration

[ciars]

Lads, I've got CCC iDrive but also have the 6FL option (USB audtio interface support under the armrest next to the aux port for iPod integration).

S6FLA USB-/Audio-Schnittstelle USB/Audio interface

What else do I need for this, to enable me hook up and control my iPod through the iDrive interface / steering wheel / voice controls?

At present I'm simply using the USB port with a memory stick and some folders to help with track navigation.

I think all you need is the Y cable.

Thank Mark, the more I read, the more it appears that this is the case. Only concern is what's inside the black box on the cable? I presume this has something to do with the iDrive integration for playlists/controlling remotely via iDrive/Steering wheel. Found a cable from China for less than a tenner, worth a punt I guess?

I have a genuine BMW one you can have for €10:

Hi Felix, where are you based? I'd gladly take that off you, save me the bother of ordering and wait times. Thanks, I will PM you now.

Thanks again Felix, pleasure to meet you.

Thread resurrection I know, but......

I have CCC with a snap-in phone cradle and an AUX port in my armrest, there is NO USB port there at the moment.

I found this on e-bay: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/BMW-E81-E87-E...cAAOSwdvpWDqzM and I am wondering if it will work if I just plug it all in or is there coding/modules required?

Won't work on its own, you need MULF 2 High Bluetooth module to get this to work. Will need coding, 355cm HSD wire, USB amplifier too.

Thanks for the reply Mick, I won't bother with it so!! Cheers.
