It may not be all bad that Suby does not offer IPOD integration, at this time. My son just had BMW instal the IPOD connect in his 2002 BMW 325ix-wagon and he is very disappointed in how it actually works.

He even took it back thinking something must be wrong. You do not get name of artist/song on IPOD, just list number. Not very good unless you memorize 5,000-10,000 play selections. Also, he said the install is a rip-off. ($150 plus hardware of $100 and they basicly remove two screws, a plastic panel and plug in USB.

My son said it is a great idea and dealer has a backlog of people waiting for install, but it is way too first gen.

Grass is not always as green as it appears on the other side.

Being a sensative, supportive dad, I told my son to quit snibbling, you are driving a BMW for crying out loud. Don't call me about this BS.

Hahaha. It's too bad it doesn't offer a full display, but I guess it's one step closer to the perfect integration. Thanks for the heads up. BMW/Apple isn't so great right now after all!

I have been doing a lot of surfing in a few of the M3 forums of late and there is a lot of talk about the IPOD integration. They all think its fantastic so maybe he may have got a doddgy job or something like that. If you really want to know, send me a PM and I will give you the details.
