520d - do I need the USB Audio Interface?
Hi
I'm just about to order the 520d Auto with Professional Sat Nav. I have an old iPod with my music on it. Can I just play the music from the iPod with the standard spec or do I need 6FL or something else? If I do go for an accessory, what does it give me? The dealer was vague when I quizzed him, other than the fact that I can control which songs I want from the screen rather than through the iPod. There's also the telephone USB accessory - do I need that too? Choices, choices! Thanks |

You can connect your ipod to the standard aux interface to play music.
Adding the 6FL USB option will give you added functionality where you can chose from playlists, genres, artists, songs and albums on the screen. If you have one of the lates ipods you will also be able to see album art. You can control the ipod with the steering wheel buttons. In addition, the ipod is charged through the USB connection. You can also connect standard USB sticks instead of an ipod. I've had the USB option and an 80 GB Ipod for the last 3,5 years and it's a must for me.
