Dealer looked at it, couldn't get my ipod or my sons to work, but got the Sales managers and another employees to work. They asked if I had synced the Ipods recently (which I had). They blamed it on that. They think the latest version of what is on I-tunes isn't being reconized by the car. WTF? So I asked what the solution is and the service manager said give it time, Apple will fix it or BMW will come up with a solution. Are you kidding me?
That gets back to my beef with making the BMW applications device specific.
How are they to know what is going to change in a month let alone 5-7 years down the line?

I remember in the past they would only guarantee cell phones purchased through them so that they could be assured that their software is compatible.
