Can I attach an Apple iPod to my car (BMW 2014 model) USB port? My car is media capable. If so, will this keep the iPod charged?

Yes, I use mine that way all of the time. You will just have to read the car manual to find out how to set it up. It does keep the ipod harged

Yes, the one I bought from amazon chargers as well as connects iPod to the radio. I recently also tried an old iPod mini and it works well also!!

There is a USB connection not an Apple connection. I haven't tried hooking my IPod up to it. It does pretty much everything else.

I don't know. This was meant for BMW's that have the GPS and the extended Aux controller in the graphics of the BMW. This is needed for car control of the iPhone. I have an I phone 5 and needed another Apple adaptor for this work. But If you use the iphone directly and can play audio via the Audio Aux port it may work with no control. So you will need to have the USB and the Audio port close together. Good luck

The USB is powered, so if you connect this to your stereo per the instructions (by connecting to the rear USB and auxiliary connections on your stereo), the USB will charge whatever device you plug into it. So, if you need to charge your iPod, for example, it will charge. HTH

When you connect the Z2 via USB you will see the stored movie / audio files on the unit as if it was a thumb drive. As to how your car media system can interface with it is another question. Most car systems are only optimized for iPod Apple type devices, sadly.

While I can't say definitively, if your car has the USB connection with what looks like an ear phone hole next to it that appears to fit this wire, then yes it should work. If you previously tried using just a standard USB wire, that would explain why it wouldn't work properly. The extra prong on the wire provides the two-way communication between your car and your ipod. Best of luck! Also, if you want to verify prior to purchase, you can stop by the dealer and see what they sell (just probably costs twice as much)

The Audi/VW/most factory iPod systems try to index the device, which is why it won't work. Can't index all music on device over Bluetooth connection

I have this unit. The iPod adapter is included. It plugs into the back. The one that is in the car already will no longer work. But it does still carry 12v power so you can charge your phone.

There is a USB connection in the rear of the unit. You can attach your old iPod via that method.

Yes. I used mine on this device while I had it. You charge the ipod with the USB cable and cigarette lighter adapter. The USB cable goes into the bottom of the device and the connector on the top goes into your ipod. I found the transmitter to be too weak so I returned this item. I prefer the Satechi Soundfly SD.Soundfly SD WMA/MP3 Player Car Fm Transmitter for SD Card, USB Stick, Mp3 Players,iPod, ZuneYou can't recharge with the Soundfly but the FM transmitter is far superior to the one in your inquiry.

This will work perfectly. I had the same issue on my Mercedes, and my Nissan Maxima. The problem is that the ipod integration kit in the cars is designed for the older versions of ipod, and iphone. This issue rectified the issue in both my vehicles and makes it compatible with all new models of Iphone, ipod. If you have a first to third gen ipod it will no longer work, but I dont think anyone owns these anymore, and if you did, just unplug the adapter and use as normal.

Works great with an Iphone 5 (with the apple adapter since the connection is for an Iphone 4), been using it with no problems in my 2009 328i

Using the "Aux In" RCA jacks in the back of the unit, you can hook up a cd player/changer OR an iPad (using a special cable)...there is a USB port in the back of the unit as well; however the manual states "play music from USB flash drive...". I have not tried to plug in my iPod and play through the unit, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Hope that helps.

Yes you can charge it or an I phone however you can not listen to your Ipod or Iphone at the same time its charging because you have to plug in the AUX cable to play music through the head unit it doesnt play music threw the USB jack from an iphone

I think the latest iPods have a new charger, that won't fit. If you get a converter, I am not sure it will work--never tried. I just keep an old iPod on all of the time.

Ipod port but you can connect via headphone jack. However, your device will not be charged as it plays.
