Hi from Kent

Post by td_100 » Sun May 03, 2015 4:16 pm

Just a hello from me, I have just purchased a used 2008 E70 X5 3.0 D SE.

I have a question

How do I play music from iPhone or iPod, I have the media package, no USB port, telephone cradle (non iPhone).
I thought the music might stream over bluetooth but cannot see any option

thanks

Terry

AFAIK that Bluetooth option did not become available until the late 2009/10 models with the later multi button CIC type iDrive system.  You have the CCC type system.

Do you not have a USB port in the centre console under the phone cradle?  If you have the media package then there ought to be a place to connect a Y-cable which uses a USB connector and 3.5mm Jack, though it might be in the glovebox?

No I only have a Aux jack plug, can anyone advise what I need to attach an iPod and play via the head unit, nice to be able to see the content on the iPod when playing.

Thanks
