Just took delivery of my 09 550i last night and it's getting a clear bra installation as we speak. I have a question about the iPod integration, I see that there is a usb input as well as an aux input. I plugged my iPod into the USB port but was unable to make anything happen. Do I need a special adapter for this?? I'm sure I'll have many more questions to come. Thanks.
