Hi ...I have a 2006 523i and I installed the iPod adapter at the dealer..I have a 160GB iPod classic and while everything is working fine, I can't see all my music on the display. It won't list all my artists (I think it stops at the "D" or something), and I can't see all my albums. Going through the forum, and similar ones, it seems like this has been a common problem. Does any solution exist at all for this terribly annoying problem?? I would really appreciate any help.

There's limits for this ipod adapter.
You are better off splitting them into multiple playlists.

Or sell the ipod adapter and buy the dension gateway 500 which has no limitations. =) splits all the songs into pages. heh.

There are a few people that sell it here that might ship international. =) Try to PM Fantastic 5. He might be able to ship one to you. Its the best, so much better than the BMW Kit.

Great! does it work with the 2006 iDrive? any specifications that I should be aware of?
there are no problems on my end. I've heard some people ran into some hardware problems but ever since i got it, has been flawless for me.
