They say it will be another 2 weeks before they can even order it...let alone deliver it to me.

I find this very hard to believe for 2 reasons:
#1 - I doubt BMW would go to all this trouble to release 6FL options but not let the dealers be able to get the cable in stock.
#2 - Major Husker's (You must be a Nebraska fan) rep got one for him.

Maybe I should change my sig to:

Disbelief in Britian
It's probably true.

#1. A person from the Performance Center said the same thing happened with the headphones for the X5 Rear Entertainment System when it first came out. It was a couple of weeks before they even knew what part no. to order. It certainly doesn't speak well of either BMWUK or BMWNA that something like this should happen.

#2. Major Husker is in Germany. I guess they're better organized there.

I hope things are squared away in time for my May 2nd PCD. If I don't get it then, I won't have it until I get back from a 4-6 week trip (and I won't be able to use the iPod on the trip).
