So, when I got it working in the X3 last night, I was shocked to see how primitive it is. Really shocked. Pointless in my eyes.
Instead, I got an old Nano out the drawer, grabbed an old Apple cable and settled for that. More than happy with the way it works, but disappointed that the BT isn't a viable option.

sfax - thanks for you assistance on the matter, all the same.
No worries. I only ever use BT audio for podcasts and use a USB stick or the HDD for music. Tend to avoid the HDD though as it has silly bugs like playing an album's tracks in alphabetical order - also no artwork.

iPod plugin if you have BMW Apps is another option
