Will it work for 2012 328i? And will I still be able to select songs and change playlists thru ipod/iphone after plugged in?

Unfortunately this will only work with BMW 3 series up to 2005 sedan/coupe and up to 2006 convertible, it will not work on the later e90/91/92/93 and f30 series cars(yours) they use a fiber optic communication system that requires a special adapter and coding to your car

It transmits whatever is playing on my IPod to the car radio. I found that my "classic" IPod works with the device without it being plugged into the car so it should work, for example, at work if you want to play the audio from IPod on your FM radio in the office.

Yes it works very well with iPod ipad iPhone. I highly recommend this Merc over the Ferrari . The speaker in it that plays music from your iPod and the remote opening doors are a beautiful touch. A really fantastic little car

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

It will probably work, but it will most likely not work with the remote controls. My friend has a BMW that has the controls and I tested it on his. Audio works, but no controls.

Works on my 2011 328xi and iPhone 6. If it shows up as AUX just flip the lightning cable over plug it in and it will show up as "iPod" like the original BMW cable. All steering wheel controls work.

I only use the up/down controls on my steering wheel to select music on my Iphone. So I only go forward or backward through the playlist that I selected using my Iphone. It odes show the songs, artist,etc.. I have used the controls on the radio to select various options but it is complicated and I would not do that if I was driving. I usually select a playlist on my Iphone, then start a song in that playlist. Then I select SAT and IPOD Bluetooth on my stereo either using the buttons on my stereo or the source button on my steering wheel. There are menus you can download off the internet that compliment the original user guide. The Isimple I use is in a 2009 LEXUS RX350. Bye the way, I have a new Toyota Camry that has built in Bluetooth. It doesn't do much more than the Isimple.

It will not work in the car, at least not in my car. The head unit, a JVC, tries to read the iPod but can not for whatever reason. I believe it has something to do with not being on a wi-fi net work in the car.As far as sound quality, it is remarkable. It works great on my Sony docking station. I was using a Bluetooth before, which was okay, but Dolry is way better.

It works for playing and controlling and charging in older Mercedes and bmw ( only cars I've tried it in ). 2008 R Series Mercedes and 2009 5 series BMW.

You should call the Dension Gateway support. The unit I got was compatible to a point. Bluetooth did not work because of a firmware issue, this is the older unit and is not getting any updates. so before you spend the money call the support folks. they do reply to email as well. adds the ipod to my systems and still allows for steering wheel controls, my car is a mercedes, 2006, R500.

Sorry, I don't know if your CD player will work with this unit. I installed mine in a 97 BMW 328I and it made a big difference in sound quality, hope you get similar results.

Thank you Ikarus for your answer. I just can't get it to work yet. I have a Lexus is300 (2002) with a stock head unit and so far haven't had the transmitter working yet. But I'm researching how to do it now because I really want listen to my library instead of public radio and commercials and their mind-influencing choices of music.

My 2006 Scion XB had ipod integration that worked great with the previous ipod. When I got a new one the integration no longer worked. Some one told me that they changed where the power pin is. I bought this adapter and it worked but not perfectly. Now my ipod charges and plays but the controls on the steering wheel do not work properly. When I hit next it just restarts the current song. However if you ignore the steering wheel controls it does work as far as charging your device and pausing your device when you stop the engine to get out of the car. When you get back in, your music picks up where it left off. So I am glad I got it. I can't say how it will work with your car.

If your BMW has the USB and Aux side by side, Yes it will work. I have an X5 and it works flawlessly. Too bad BMW hasn't added the Album Art support like they should of to any Vehicles prior to 2014

No..this will only make your car stereo "discoverable" to your iPod/iPhone/iPad..etc. I also found this device only works on select devices....about 1 out of 4 that I've tried

Yes, I think you can see the installation instructions in YouTube, the instructions are not for this particular brand but for another three time the price but does the same thing. If I remember right you have to unplug the CD changer and plug the IPod adapter. It works through your CD changer mode.Note: Maker sure to use a magnet when removing the radio screws.
