With the USB audio interface, (option code 6FL

for BMW) suitable MP3 players such as the Apple

iPod can be connected to the vehicle via a USB

interface and operated by means of the vehicle’s

input elements. Along with MP3 players, USB sticks

can also be connected to the USB audio interface to

enable playback of audio files stored on the USB stick.

When connecting a mobile phone with USB interface to

the USB audio interface, it is important to bear in mind

that some mobile phones exclude simultaneous

Bluetooth operation of the phone. In other words there

is no assurance that calls can be received or initiated.

It is possible to access the audio files directly via

a playlist or you can search by musical genre,

artist, album and track. The audio files, however, can

only be sorted and displayed correctly in the vehicle if

the file information (e.g. ID3 tags) stored on the MP3

player contain Latin characters only. Only audio files are

compatible with the interface. Access to other files (e.g.

videos) is not possible.

Due to the variety of MP3 players and USB sticks

available on the market and the multiplicity of

specifications that can vary from device to

device, flawless operation with the USB audio

interface cannot be ensured for all devices. The

compatible devices tested by the BMW Group are

therefore communicated on a regular basis.

The following device classes are supported by

the USB audio interface; see the information and

tables below for details:

• Apple iPod and Apple iPhone

• MP3 players and USB sticks (USB mass memory

as per “USB Mass Storage Class” specification)

• MP3 players with Media Transfer Protocol (MTP)

An “incompatible device” message displayed in the car

indicates that an attempt has been made to connect a

device belonging to a class that is not suitable for use

with the interface.

Apple iPods are connected to the vehicle with

the “adapter cable for Apple iPod/iPhone” (Y-

adapter 30-pin plug to USB and AUX-IN)

available as an accessory from the BMW Group.

This adapter enables quick access to the iPod’s audio

files, while simultaneously charging the device. Copy-

protected music files can be played back.

Other MP3 players or USB sticks can be

connected to the vehicle with the aid of a USB

cable. The external device also receives its power

supply via this cable (max. 500mA). Please be advised

that the device should not be connected to the vehicle’s

12V power socket at the same time.

The USB audio interface supports the mainstream

compression formats MP3 (mp3), AAC (aac, m4a, m4b),

WAV/PCM (wav) and WMA (wma,asf) and playlists in

M3U format. It is not possible to import copy-protected

audio files.

Persons considering leaving MP3 players or USB sticks

in the car must comply with the applicable instructions

for use. It is advisable not to leave MP3 players or USB

sticks in the car for a prolonged period, due to extreme

ambient conditions such as temperature or relative

humidity caused by an enclosed environment.
