i just got my ipod installed from the dealership..i just wanted to know how many PLAYLISTS can i see thru IDRIVE....i have alot of playlists and couldn't see them all and is there a shortcut to search by letters or do i have to scroll down for everything?

 

sorry can't help you here, but try posting this topic in the "Bluetooth, Cell Phone" forum. i'm sure you'll get some answers. the search function is a handy tool also...

It also depends on the year of the car, the iDrive software level, and interface used.

 

it's an 08...i don't know what idrive lvl it is or the interface...

 

My experience with my 2006 530xiT was that I could only access 256 Playlists thru my iDrive and iPod adapter. I believe the same limitation might apply to your 2008 E60.

My new 2010 535xiT had the new iDrive system (with a Hard Drive - systen 4.0). I have yet to find a playlist limitation, but I have only 400 or so playlists on my iPod Classic.

My workaround for the 2006 car was to use iTunes to select the 200 or so playlists that I wanted to use for the next several weeks, then when I got bored with that, I would bring the iPod to my computer and change the selection.

 

there should be a way that u can search by Letters...like u dial a phone number...that'd be awesome!

 

How do you like it? Do you think you should have gone with something else? I am picking my car up tomorrow and was going to tell them to put in the kit, wanted some feedback.

 

it wrks fine, sound quality is really good...i don't know the limitations of yet as i am still updating my music library. i paid $250 for it..GL

 

Hmmmm maybe I should just get the AUX input put in.....
