Any aux in cable will do fine. You wont get to control the mp3 on the screen regardless.

You couls stick all the songs on a usb stick and plug onto usb slot. This way you can control the tracks and see the names too.

thats correct, I've got iPod as that all i keep in my car

it allows me to control iPod, select playlists, songs, albums, artist etc seems pretty good only thing it doesn't have is quick search A-Z so if you have 700 artists and 2000 albums it can take some time

2008 single button Idrive system, not sure about the late idrive model
