Will this product work on a 2008 BMW 550i? I have the USB and aux inputs in the center console. Would I be able to see my playlist on the idrive?

It should work just fine if you have a build date after 3/07 and the right option in your car, that being 6FL.

Hi, I have bought this adapter for a BM Motorcycle that it is said it shares the audio system with cars. It Works fine and shows the playlist in the dashboard's screen. However, for an unknown reason it always starts on the same song/playlist no matter how many have you listened during your last trip.

I actually have a 2012 Mini Cooper not a BMW. The part I purchased was an OEM BMW part and it works the same with Mini since they are owned by BMW. I am able to play my playlists with no problems from my IPhone 4S. If you have an IPhone 5 or later, you might check with your local BMW dealer to make sure everything still works the same. My research online leads me to believe that this adapter will work with your 2008 BMW 550I.

I plugged mine into the back of my car receiver, the audio works for the aux input and the usb works for a flash drive for playing music, but I'm not sure what a iSimple interface is. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I will work on your car and system, but it only provides an AUX input, it doesn't provide charging for connected devices.

doesn't matter what type or brand the car is....this will work. Attach this to the end of your iPod cable....sync to your device through your bluetooth settings....and start streaming. The sound is amazing. One thing though....sometimes it fails to connect after I've turned car off and then returned. I have to go back into bluetooth settings and connect again.. but not all the time. I have three of these....one in three different cars...it works in all of them.

I have a 2011 BMW X3 with IDrive but no navigation and the Y cable works perfectly. I am able to listen to Pandora without any problems.

You may want to check with your local bmw dealer. Since it has the new plug style on the 5. It may not work. But since you have idrive, you may want to look under your passenger glove box, and see if there is a USB port, and if there is, you can actually download your ipod through that, and no need for it. . And as for your phone, you can Bluetooth your music through the system

Not sure without idrive, however for me this unit works perfectly. I bought a $12 version that lasted 2 weeks. just as others had predicted however the unit from this vendor is still working and is perfect in my 2010 328i convertible which has idrive & navigation.

I have a 2012 335i with BMW Apps and the dealership sold me the model ending in 308. Will NOT work with my year model. My dealership apologized and said the correct one is not released yet. Sounds like the other writer here said it might come out in the next month or so!! I sure hope so. When you spend $60k on a car, you would think they would get their act together. Hurry up and wait. My older iPhone 4 worked great with the previous adapter!!! I was listening to radio stations from all over the world.

I really can't say for sure, I have a 2011. Things you would need would be the MB Media Interface (The iPod connector in the glove box) and the most updated software for your Entertainment system. This thing is not intuitive to set up so if you aren't a Techie it might be a challenge. There are some other simple BlueTooth streaming options that work well that use your AUX jack. These don't display on your Entertainment system though. Hope that helps. Feel free to contact me again if you have other questions.

Hello,If your BMW has an "Aux In" plug-in and a "USB" plug-in, it should work fine.BMW - AutoGoodParts

I have a VW stock radio, and how mine works is if the CD drive is empty then it will default to AUX. If there is a CD in the drive, it will play the CD.

With the proper mount this will work on your BMW... I have absolutely no complaints about this radar detector. I would purchase to visual L.E.D. alert and the audio ear piece as well because you are never constantly looking directly at the radar detector while riding and you can't hear the audio alert over the engine noise. This is a good buy!!!

I don't really know but it seems reasonable to think that your idea will work if the BMW antenna is wired for sirius and doesn't designate only certainsirius radios will work when connected to it. The worst that will happen is you won't get any signal (have the car out in the open), then you just haveto go to alternate plan B and use the antenna that came with the radio. Good luck!

I really don't know. I do not have any BMW. I use it for other cars such as Acura, Mazda and Lexus and it works fine with them.

I installed this player myself into my Subaru. Obviously it is going to depend on your vehicle. I found it quite easy. I found a video on you tube showing the steps to replacing the radio in my car. By the way, love this player, its exactly what I wanted and works very well with my Ipod.

No, it will charge but not play through the audio system. It did not work in my 335. There are other cords on Amazon that will play in BMW's. Check the reviews. Unfortunately, all are shorter in length which are difficult to use if you want your phone visible on the dash since the connection is in the center console.

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
