If you already have an ipod, stick with the ipod. Sometimes less is more.

Yes, All 1ers have an AUX plug under the armrest, in MY08's the USB connector was an option or included in the Premium Sound System. Now I believe USB may be standard ... in US cars at least.

you have 40K car pony up for the IPOD
I read this post last night and still can't believe how cheap you guys are. You have a $40,000 car and you are chatting about a buck fifty IPOD? Just do it and be done. The USB stick is not the design as BMW intended and will not work as well as the IPOD. Buy the 8GB mini and get on with it.
Unless of course you have a mullet and drive a camaro! |

I do not use iTunes, however I use another program for managing iPod. I consider iPod is better option than other USB sources, becaseu it supports better music organization and gives you a power of smart play lists.
Another concern was discussed here, is really double DAC conversion happens if music played over analog AUX as it happens with iPod.

Plus my way, I get to use my AUX port for my Sirius Satellite. Sorry I know I should pay 5 times as much for the BMW Sirius receiver as well, but as you say I'm cheap :smile: And to be complete while on a rant ... by using specially crafted Directory structures, I never have to wait for the scan of the drive to take place before using it. Additionally, I have almost 20Gbytes of music, so would have had to spend a heap on a 80Gbyte classic, or a 32Gbyte iTouch, versus $60 for a 32Gbyte USB stick.

For the standard system, I doubt it, without seeing the circuit diagram, it's hard to know if it is kept analogue the whole way or not.

Also, depending on your audio setup it may or may not go through two DACs. |

No arguments there. I use Sirius is for variety, and it sure doesn't sound anywhere near as good as my USB stick !! And I'm not really "worried" about multiple DAC's, in my car I feel I can percieve a diffrence between my iPod and the car Decoding.

I decided to try a USB thumb drive, it definitely sounds much better on a lot of songs than the ipod does. The radio reads the id3 tags from the music files and the functions work the same as with the ipod, I've also found that the radio will play MP3 and MP4 files from the USB drive (it won't play apple lossless m4a files though).
