Ipod connection on the proffesional head unit
Discussion
Might need a 1 series forum for this one but I will give it a go
I've just aquired a 1 series coupe and specified the Pro radio upgrade and the USB port for the Ipod.
When I plug the Ipod in and select it from the list I seem to get very little functionality, ie it will only play in random mode and skip forwards and backwards through the tracks. I can't access the IPOD when it's plugged in and I can't find a menu which allows me to select an album or artist etc. I thought it might just play in the last mode the Pod was set too, but thats not the case either, it's just random full stop!.
Anybody help??
PS the cars great though

Thanks Steve, I will get on the the dealers about it. I notice in the brochure it actually states the Ipod interface option includes a cable so in theory I should be able to get one for nothing. They owe me a favour anyway it's got to go back after three days!. There's a paint fault on the door.
Well I've got the cable and have managed to get some more functionality, but the buttons don't seem top do what the labels say.
If I press the Artist button I would expect to be able to select by Artist, but in fact it goes to select by track. Am I supposed to be able to 'train' the buttons or something?.
Why isn't this in the manual???

Finaly sorted mine out, it's all to do with the right hand button. Once you have pushed the relevent button to select Artist, Album or track ettc, the right button needs to be twisted to bring up the choices, pushing it flicks it on to the next folder. My fault hadn't tried that one!
