Can you be a bit more descriptive with what does not work?

A few things maybe:
1. iPod does not charge - newer generation iPods. There is a power adapter for that (playing would still work though)
2. It does not work at all - make sure all connectors are connected to the iPod interface in your BMW.
3. Your stereo is not configured for CD Changer operation - iPod will not work (dealer can code this).

Ar.

That might as well be it. For the iPod IF to work, you need to have the CD changer option coded.
However, if your car came with the iPod Interface, one might assume it should work.
No sound from the AUX seems weird as that is just a line in interface.. sounds a bit crappy, but still should play.

Maybe a cabling issue?
