Help please! Podcast issues with iDrive??
I have had my car almost two weeks now and I am having issues playing podcasts (Tech Package). I have an iPod Classic connected with a USB (I tried an Apple USB and Belkin USB).
The iDrive recognizes the podcast and begins playing. However, it stops playing after a minute or so. It reverts back to the external sources screen. I searched this forum and couldn't find anything. Is anyone else having the same issue? Thanks in advance! Last edited by OC40; 02-26-2013 at 08:19 PM.. |

I plan on using my 4s as my "iPod" once the 5s and/or 6 comes out this fall. That will fix my problem, but that's 6+ months away! |

I use bluetooth streaming on the 4s for my Podcasts and it works great! I keep the phone in my pocket and the podcast automatically pauses when I turn off and leave the car and picks up where it left off when I return.
I also have an iPod touch connected to the USB for my music and have mapped a couple of the 1-8 buttons to switch between the two audio sources. |

It's a iPod Touch? Because it has BT.

I plugged an iPod classic in after I got my F30. It no longer works and does not power up. I think it's because iPods do not like to be in charge mode all the time so be careful with this. I have an old iPhone in the centre console now and it's been ok.

Fixed the issue. Converted the podcasts to AAC. They show up as albums now. Haven't had an issue since.
