New Z4M - ICE Help

Gents,

I picked up my 2007 Z4M Coupe yesterday and she's a beauty. I was also very pleasantly surprised when i found the Aux socket under the dash and an iPod dcok connector in my glove box - happy days. Now having had the BMW iPod kit fitted to my old Z4 3.0SI roadster i was reasonably familiar with its workings (Playlist BMW1, BMW2 etc)

However having setup a spare 40Gb iPod it would seem that there is a problem somewhere, hence the help. The symptoms are as follows

Connect iPod (it is Mac formatted) - Confirms on the iPod Screen BMW - OK (which is good!)
Select CDC from the Mode key
iPod plays from BMW1 playlist for about 3secs before cutting back to the radio.
Take the CDC Cassette out from the CD Changer you can't select the iPod and No Magazine comes up on Nav Screen.
Put the Mag back in and whilst the Mag is checked the iPod works fine, even selecting the different playlists.

Now I'm stumped, 2x iPods (original 40Gb as well as a newer 60Gb Video) tested, and i'm no wiser.

Any help would be very welcome chaps.

Ah, simple... you can't have both - CD changer and iPod that is - as they use the same connection.

Yes, sounds like the CD changer hasnt been disconnected.

Lovely, I'll have a look in the boot tomorrow - PS can this iPod unit be used with the Intravee?
 
No the intravee is used with an Alpine adapter, can't remember the Alpine part number but do a search on here you will find it.
 
Sorted, iPod interface now all working thanks to my dealer and best of all no charge.

Thanks Steve @ Rybrook Warwick.

PS - Carbon Fibre Boot Spoiler - £190 plus Fitting - very very tempting.
 
Hah, I'm in Leam but I'm just the other side of Stratford as I type this :thumbsup: Will keep an eye out. I can usually be spotted near Ragley Hall on the lanes or in the middle of the A46 in 3rd :D

Connected at the head, but disconnected from the CD Changer - apparently!

Thankfully the dealer sorted it out in a matter of minutes, whilst I enjoyed the free Wifi.

I'm sure I have followed you out of the dealer/ on the Longbridge roundabout a couple of times.

Do you drive everywhere sideways??
