Iphone connectivity
- Thread starter ferrelscent

I think I prefer the dealer solution when i can afford it. I hadn't realized that in doing so I would get on screen control of the iPod/iPhone.
But JP do you have a link to any information about the aux mod thing ?

No-one has mentioned an Intravee - that is by far your best bet for playing music from your iPhone through the stereo, and is great when used with nav.
No offence, but that really isn't clear, and as others have said you didn't originally state whether you wanted to make calls through it or play music. So anyone can easily be forgiven for not understanding your requirements.

If you think I am being lazy not searching through threads you are right I am,..don't waste any typing giving me a lecture
There's a reason people suggest you search through old posts, as it usually gives you the answer straight away, rather than having to waste a thread ( and 2 days ) on it.
From the FAQ:
Audio, Nav & Bluetooth
[*] Up to date Bluetooth Compatibility List
[*] Post 2007 cars have an auxilliary in, (for MP3 Players). This is an easy retrofit.
[*] For more useful Ipod Integration (particularly if you have NAV), the favourite seems to be the Intravee, but there is also Dension, and the BMW unit which both have mixed reviews.
[*] There are 3 Audio options in the Z4. Basic, Hifi and DSP (Carver/Logic7). Basic has 6 speakers & no amp (with 8 visible grills), Hifi has 10 speakers with an optical amp, and DSP is the Carver system with 10 speakers, optical amp and DSP settings you can change. If you have cubby boxes behind the seats you have basic, if you have DSP settings you have the DSP, anytihng else you have the Hifi option. Anything other than the Basic Hifi is incredibly difficult to upgrade. Carver was the original Launch top Hifi named after the company that designed the Speakers, after 2007 it became the Logic7 system, all have Phillips Speakers.
I suggest you read up by googling either Intravee (which I have, & it rocks) the Simple Aux-In or the Dension units.

Thank you above poster!
Flames from beginning to end ! And I thought this forum was a bit more chilled than the rest.
But Andy, thanks for the info... exactly what I was looking for in my opener.
