Usb and Aux

[BeemerMad]

Where should i be looking to see if my car has them as standard? Or is this a stupid question?

 

[James Junior]

Aux socket in mine is just beneath the dash board, immediately to the right of the ashtray.

Not sure about USB I'm afraid.

AUX was std from model year 07.

If it's been retro fitted I would check the glovebox as well as the underside of the dash below the AC controls.

What model/year is your car?

 

[BeemerMad]

Hmmm, cannot seem to see that in mine! So its not inside the ashtray?

 

[Breadvan]

Not a silly question as I cant find mine on my 07 coupe either

AFAIK there's no USB at all on e85/86 unless you fit an aftermarket option.

Correct.

If you have aux (at least the std version) you'll see it as you scroll through radio, cd, changer etc.

Found the aux in its under the dasy on the over hang. Im too tall to have spotted that :lol:
No usb oh well i can live with the aux in. Cheers guys and gals.

Also how do i know if my sat nav has the tv function? Cannot see it on the main screen etc. was it an expensive extra?

My sat nav has the green TMC so i know its the newer one

you would have a TV option on the main menu.

To play music from a USB device.

Maniac said it earlier :- "supply power"

Is there an easy way to get aftermarket USB playback in the E85? I imagine it'd be horrendously complicated.
