* USB audio interface
You can connect an external audio device or USB device to the USB audio interface. > MP3 player > USB memory stick > iPod/iPhone > Suitable mobile phone: You can operate these devices via iDrive, if they are supported by the USB audio interface. If equipped with an additional connection of the music player in the mobile phone, connect the phone by means of the snap-in adapter*, refer to page 233. The phone can then be used for the hands-free system and audio playback. The audio playback is only possible if no device is connected to the USB audio interface. The common audio files, e.g. MP3, WMA, WAV (PCM) and AAC, as well as playback lists in the M3U format can be played back. Due to the large number of audio devices avail- able on the market, operation via the vehicle cannot be ensured for every audio device. Ask your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center, which audio devices, mobile phones, or USB devices are suitable.
Connecting Open the lid of the center armrest.
1 Connection for audio playback:
TRS connector 1/8 in/3.5 mm
2 USB interface
iPod/iPhone In order to connect the iPod/iPhone, use the BMW cable adaptor for Apple iPod/iPhone. For more information, contact a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center or consult our website: www.bmw.com For audio playback via the vehicle speakers, connect the iPod/iPhone to the connections 1 and 2. The menu structure of the iPod/iPhone is sup- ported by the USB audio interface.
USB device
Use a flexible adapter cable for connec- tion to protect the USB interface and your
USB device against mechanical damage.< For audio playback via the vehicle speakers, connect the USB device to the connection 2. After connecting for the first time, the informa- tion of all tracks, e.g. artist, music genres, and the playback lists of the USB device are trans- ferred to the vehicle. This process can take some time. The time required is dependent on the USB device and on the number of tracks. During the transfer you can select the tracks via the directories and file names. Following the transfer you can call up the tracks via the information and playback lists. The information of up to four USB devices or for a total of approx. 16,000 tracks can be stored in the vehicle. If a fifth USB device is connected or if more than 16,000 tracks are to be stored, then the infor- mation about existing tracks is deleted if neces- sary.
Music tracks with integrated Digital Rights Management (DRM) cannot be
played.<

General malfunctions The BMW CD/DVD player is optimized for oper- ation in the vehicle. It may react more sensi- tively to defective CDs/DVDs than devices intended for stationary use. If a CD/DVD cannot be played, first check whether it has been inserted correctly.
Make sure that no foreign bodies or liq- uids enter the CD-/DVD bay, as otherwise
the CD/DVD player will be damaged.<
Information on CD/DVD player
Safety notes
The BMW CD/DVD player is a Class 1 laser product. Do not operate if the cover is damaged or open, otherwise severe eye dam- age can result.<
Suitable media
Do not use self-recorded CDs/DVDs with labels applied as these can become
detached during playback due to heat buildup and can cause irreparable damage to the device. Only use round CDs/DVDs with a standard diameter of 4.7 in/12 cm. Never play CDs/DVDs with adapters, e.g. sin- gle-CDs, as otherwise the CDs or the adapter can jam and may not be ejected. Never use combined CD/DVD, e.g. DVDPlus or hybrid disks, as otherwise the CD/DVD can jam and may not be ejected.< The CD/DVD player can play the following media: > Video DVD > CD-DA (Audio CD) > CDs/DVDs with compressed image files > CDs/DVDs with compressed audio files > CDs/DVDs with compressed video files DVD Audio and SACD are not supported by the DVD player. However, many audio DVDs avail- able in stores also contain a video track in the DVD Video format in addition to the audio track. These DVDs can be played back by the DVD player. Refer to the information on your DVD to determine whether your audio DVD contains an additional video track. Depending on the authoring used, it is possible that not all functions are available during play- back. Dual-sided DVDs available from retail suppliers are coated on both sides and bear no markings. This means both sides are information carriers.

Humidity High levels of humidity can lead to condensa- tion on the CD/DVD or the laser's scan lens and temporarily prevent playback.

Malfunctions with individual CDs/DVDs If malfunctions occur only with particular CDs/ DVDs, this can be due to one of the following causes.
Copied or self-recorded CDs/DVDs Possible reasons for malfunctions with copied or self-recorded CDs/DVDs are, e.g., inconsis- tent data-creation or recording processes, or poor quality or high age of the CD/DVD blank. Only label CDs/DVDs on the side with the label using a pen intended for this purpose.
Damaged CDs/DVDs Avoid fingerprints, dust, scratches and mois- ture. Store CDs/DVDs in a sleeve. Do not subject CDs/DVDs to temperatures over 1227/506, high levels of humidity, or direct sunlight.
CDs/DVDs with copy protection CDs/DVDs are often provided with a copy pro- tection feature by the manufacturer. As a result, some CDs/DVDs cannot be played, can only be played to a limited degree, or cause the system to switch off. In this case, wait a short while and then switch the system back on again. Then remove the CD/DVD from the drive.
CDs/DVDs with compressed audio files If the language set for the CD/DVD player does not match the language of the music track, the music tracks may be displayed incorrectly.
Care instructions Do not use cleaning CDs with a brush.
