USB Inlets in the glove box?
I just got my X3 2.8i yesterday - AWESOME drive!!! I have a question though - I see there is a USB inlet for ipod in the center console but I don't have one inside the glove box.... I am just wondering if the USB inlet inside the glove box is an option thing that comes with optional package or should it be a standard device that comes with all X3 sold in USA...
If it is a standard one... then I have a problem since something is missing!!! |

So this brings me the next question, so the people with nav package, get 2 usb inlets ? like one on the glove box and another on the center console, just trying to understand what comes and what not...bcos these things are not clearly mentioned anywhere.

The other one in the arm rest is for iPhone/iPod/other mp3 player or USB with music or other phone. You can import and listen simultaneously using both USB ports

Both USB ports connect to the 12gig hard drive. Someone needs to follow those cords and find out where they are hiding that drive
Would be sweet if that could be changed to something much larger...someone will eventually figure it out.

The radio front panel button will only switch between the CD player and the radio. You have to go to the iDrive and select multimedia to see a plugged-in flash drive. I've loaded hundreds of pieces of music on a drive at 256 kbits/sec. and all play perfectly. It is also supposed to work with some MP3 players, but not with an iPhone or iPod. For those you can use the 3mm analog audio-in jack next to the USB port My only complaint is that I have to unload the sunglasses, cellphone charger, mini-flashlight and the other junk I usually carry in the center console to get at the USB port. Why they didn't put it in back of the little storage tray just in front of the cup holders is beyond me. Last edited by Lotus7; 03-25-2011 at 07:22 PM.. |

You get album artwork when playing from a flash drive but if you import the same files you don't see the artwork when playing from the internal HDD. Lame.
