I brought a Belkin adapter from Amazon a couple of weeks ago. Connects to the bottom port of the iPOD.
Supplies power and gives a line out connection too.
Fantastic sound. Much better than using the headphone socket.
something like this?

HEY! I like that pocket dock with lineout! thats awesome! Anyone know for sure that the sound quality will be better than using the analog headphone out?

It's the second one. Amazon have it white too. The straight chord is easier to hide away than the curly one.

My MY07 came with Aux built in to rear seat console. I immediately went to Radio Shack and purchased a line-out (male to male) cable which connects with top of my Ipod and Aux connection in BMW.

The problem is the sound is very low and I have to turn my it very high to hear; I understand this is one of the limits of the line in connector on top of my Ipod.

So question is, should this (http://www.sendstation.com/us/produc...ineout-fw.html) make things better for me?

Is there another connector to Aux and bottom of Ipod out there?

Please let me know - and No, I am not going the way of FM transmitter as in July I will have whatever BMW comes out with.

Thanks.
Hi,

Untill you get one of the more advanced options please remember the Ipod volume should be around 3/4 (maybe a little more) if you are not using a line out.
