Please keep us updated about the indexing test now that you have considerable more music on the drive. Perhaps a 7200 rpm drive would dramatically lower the indexing time. That is of course if the USB port had enough power. |

So is it possible to upload songs to the internal hard disk drive of the iDrive? That way, it will not have to index the music everytime you start the car?
Also, what else can you use store onto the internal hard disk drive that is useful for the iDrive? Mpeg movies?? |

It certainly does. I've not found any MP3-format files it won't play. It doesn't seem to mind extended characters in the filename or tag fields (although it shows many of them as "?").

new iDrive for me?!
I have ordered an E92 with Navigation System Professional in September. I was informed today that it has finished production and will be shipped in the following days. I am in Cyprus if that makes a difference.
Will it have the old iDrive or the new one?! I hope it's the new one! |

Man I want this so much. Unfortunately I still have 2 and a half years on my lease.

I noticed under the locking options that you can choose to have the lights flash or not when unlocking the car. Hopefully with the BMW OEM Alarm installed you also can choose whether or not to get the beeps when locking and unlocking....

Me TOO!!! LOL I just got mine the end of May I ordered it just before news came out about the updated iDrive! I'm just hoping there will be some sort of upgrade/retrofit so we can get some of the updated functionality.

Because the new iDrive is in the 2009 Model Year versions of the vehicles that started being manufactured in September 2008. I (and others) try to distinguish this point as anyone that may have recently purchased, or can still find a 2008MY car on a dealer lot constructed before September will not have the new iDrive in it

There will never be an iDrive upgrade for 08 and previous years. It's just not possible. |

I only need to put music on the Idrive, don't use an Ipod or external USB stick to play music from.

I had a look at some of the new iDrive equipped cars a few days ago at the dealer. They had four in the showroom. Also new I noted is that when you do not have the key and you press the volume button that the iDrive switches on in a limited mode. Namely you can only control some of the music/radio functions, all other functions (Navigation/Settings and such) where grayed out. |

What I am wondering is how it will handle map updates. I guess that when you put a newer MAP DVD into the drive, it will recognize it as such and give you the option to copy it to the internal HDD.
But I am wondering if you can backlevel or re-install an installed version. The reason I am looking for this is because of adding Speedcameras. Also, does the system now allow you to have more then one POI category displayed on the map simultaneously? Again the reason is because of speedcameras, right now I use the same icon for all types, and if I can have multiple POI categories displayed, each type of camera (50km, 70km, red light-only, etc) can have a different icon. |

PLEASE tell me what type of USB cable should come with the car when equipped with 6FL. I'm about to pick my E90 LCI and want to make sure they give me the right cable. Thanks!
