I want to know if the USB connection can be placed on a 07. I saw in the article it said no, but what is the primary reason?

This new option is as built-in as iDrive for all intents and purposes and from what I can tell there are probably some hardware changes in the CCC or M-ASK as well as the MOST bus since this is a new node on the bus.

Hence, it does not appear that it is something one can retrofit.

Ah....I see. So i'll just go with the regular e60 iPod connection then. I REALLY hope BMW doesn't pull a fast one and makes it available in an e60 prior to March 07 Production!!!

Why would you not want it available for previous e60s?
