Took delivery today
Picture taken during a fill up on the way home
Happy so far with the car, and hope it stays that way Quick question, I forgot to take my flash drive with me during delivery. When I play around with the car at home, I tried plugging in the usb flash drive filled with mp3 files and it doesn't seem to recognize the drive. Do I miss any steps required to play music off usb flash drives? I haven't tried my iPhone since I don't have Y cable and no "technology package" on mine. |

Update: I tried connecting my external harddrive and it works. I wonder why it won't recognize the flash drive. At least I'm glad the problem is not the car. Last edited by powertech83; 08-24-2011 at 11:10 AM.. |

If you had a iPhone you can also try streaming music via bluetooth. The only problem is the control function only works from the phone, not iDrive. |

Here's my usb sticking in the center console compartment.. and the iDrive screen I'm pretty sure I connected it right, since it won't even plug if i flip it. It's probably the flash drive, I'm going to buy another flash drive see if that works. At least my external HDD is detected, so I can still play music from it. Thank you guys |

It could be the format of the flash drive, ie fat32 or a unix file system for mac. What type of computer is your primary (w/OS) and have you used the flash drive before?

Congrats powertech83. Looks fantastic. First Indonesian XBimmer member delivery?
No idea on the USB by the way. Should work as others have suggested. Try reformatting and just add one folder to see if it ever gets recognised

Here's my setup with my external hdd and the iDrive detected it right away I guess for now I'm just going to use my external drive. It's my old drive and didn't use it as often anymore. Oh yeah one question, is it safe if i leave my hdd plugged in to the car? I'm worried it will drain the car's battery somehow. |
