3.1 Operation

SELECTING THE IPOD

To select the iPod from the radio, press the button that would normally activate 

the factory CD changer. The iSimple BMW interface is accessed like a BMW CD 

changer, In these cases you will press the appropriate activation button. Some 

radio models require pressing the “Seek >” button once, after pressing the CD 

button. Yet, it may also be necessary to press Play on the iPod itself to begin 

playback. In some cases, if it is the first time selecting the iPod from the radio it 

may take up to three minutes for the iSimple BMW interface to initialize.

CONTROLLING THE IPOD FROM THE RADIO

With the iSimple BMW interface, the radio will control the iPod as if it were a fac-

tory CD changer.  Therefore, operation will be done by using the same buttons 

you would use to control a factory CD changer.  For more details on your particu-

lar radio, consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual. 

 

The iSimple BMW interface allows you to skip songs forward and backwards and 

also to fast forward and rewind through a particular song.  In general, most radios 

will utilize “seek” or “track” buttons to control these functions.

CONTROLING THE IPOD FROM THE IPOD

The iSimple BMW interface allows you to keep full control of the iPod from the 

click wheel. You can browse files and change playlist on the iPod. You can also 

skip songs forward and backwards from the iPod. The iSimple BMW interface 

does not disable any functionality of the iPod! 

RADIO DISPLAY DURING IPOD OPERTION

Some factory radio’s may show DISC and TRACK numbers on the display of the 

radio. The iSimple BMW interface does not send any information from the iPod to 

the radio. This means that the DISC and TRACK numbers shown on the display 

will not and can not reflect the song number on the iPod due to the complex 

nature of the music library. Some factory radio’s may flash zero’s on the display 

of the radio, or toggle back and forth between 1:00 and 2:00. All these are normal 

behaviors and do not represent a malfunction.

CONTROLING THE IPOD FROM THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS

  

If your vehicle’s steering wheel controls have the ability to select track and control 

the forward and rewind functions of your factory CD changer, then they will also 

control these same functions on the iPod.
