I guess the OP should've state at first that his iPod adapter is for pre-LCI, sorry so no LCI 6FL trick solution .

As I stated before (and been discussed many times here before) try somethin' similar like:



... but dunno ... it could be for his X5 ...

Curious, if you happen to have an iPhone or a iTouch. If you do, perhaps you can see if it will also charge. I read somewhere there is something up with the amount of power that comes through the USB connection and some did not put out enough until a changed was made. I guessing mine in the armrest was not enough.

I have a 1st Gen iPod touch that now lives in the glovebox and charges. I also have an iPhone 4 that charges, if I take the cable out of the touch and plug it into the iPhone, just fine too. This is on an 04 with the retrofit iPod interface kit.
