Having bought a an IPOD USB cable from a well known internet retailer and found it looses connectivity and the sound quality is poor. I decided enough was enough and went and bought one from BMW for the rediculous sum of £49!

Now I appreciate the German economy has been proping up the Euro for some time, but passing this responsibility on to me in one hit when all I want to do is use a standard bit of kit is taking the mickey.

Ive always defended BMW to my work colleagues as being no more expensive to run than less prestigous marques when taking all things into account, but my faith has been somewhat shaken to say this least.

Maybe its an age thing and reaching mid 40s has turned me into a miser? :x
 
Yes to the subject and yes to aged miser ;)

I have one, I was ripped off just like most BMW products, but it does work.
 
I must admit that it may be expensive but it does work.

My 9 year old son's not too impressed as he now has to listen to his dad's 80s collection. lol!
 
There are copies out there that work but how many do you try to get to one

The BMW ,as Maniac says ,it does work out the box and will go on working

BMWs are expensive cars :o

You get what you pay for. I recently changed all my TV/accessory HDMI cables for the cheap ones that come with the equipment to ones at £76 each - picture quality and sound now significantly improved.

Always thought HDMi was digital and made up of 1's and 0's therefore it worked or it didn't. Coax and other cables especially speaker cable is a different story however.
