Audio options
I am talking utter codswallop ...
Just had a play with iPhone over Bluetooth, iPhone over USB and flash memory card over USB. I didn't bother downloading files to the car's HD, I assume its much the same as a USB flash disk ... So the weakest option would appear to be Audio over Bluetooth ... But iPhone over USB and USB flash are both good, my preference being the iPhone route over USB flash (and especially cool if you have a dedicated player WiFi enabled which you can manage from the comfort of your home computer ... and can get it to work). iPhone over USB gives you cover art search and playlists. USB flash gives also gives you cover art search and playlists, but I guess you have to make playlist files or something ... Audio over Bluetooth only gives you next and previous song from device, and no cover art as far as I can see. 6NR will give me the extra option of Plugin (once I get the cradle), but I wonder if that will actually be much better than iPhone over USB ... For certain, video is only available with 6NR and the cradle ... ... that will be handy to watch "The Big Bang Theory" box set when I am bored in the car (and there is nothing on TV).

If you use a thumb drive and transfer from something like itunes, the music stays in album order, keeps its artwork which from the sound of things I think you discovered and the files/albums are easy to search. Playlists arent necessary but will feature as an option if you have any set up on your iphone or ipod. Regarding an earlier comment about reloading each time, once it has 'recognised' the thumb drive, start up time is quick, however it can take some time the first time to access your tracks. I am assuming some scanning process is taking place, but this can work in the background while you listen to something else. Sounds like you are having fun, I should have a similar smile later this week |

I do about 200 miles a week ... so thats going to take longer than I would have liked ... but I have 200 under my belt, so 5 or 6 weekends I guess ...
Was at the lights the other day and was surprised by how quick the revs shot up if your a bit too "urgent", had to back off quicky and let someone cut in front

Car is now Status 9000 - Departed Plant so should be here within the next two weeks
Although the original estimate was this friday so am a lot to have to wait another two weeks. Plus it looks like my number plate transfer has gone up. Grr.

You can't in the UK. Best bet is to hassle your dealer!

Totally agree, 28 hours and 58 minutes now.. not that I am counting down
All our cars must have been on the same boat considering SR40X3, vojak, ChessToon, QT and anyone else I missed are all due to get their cars delivered sometime in the next few days. Seems verystrange that I have suddenly (last week or so) started seeing a whole lot more X3s on the road? 8 over the weekend ! I must've seen 6 in the from March till beginning of June before that. |

And it would appear mine is on the one after. Apparently the boat will sail when its full of X3's, X5's and X6's bound for Europe so those production boys at Spartanburg need to get a shifty on

I've still not seen an M-Sport on the roads. Every one has been an SE in Moonstone Silver, Bluewater or Sapphire Black
