Ipod Aux greyed out on idrive radio screen after software update

asub · 01-21-2011, 06:57 PM

I had the hpfp and software updated yesterday and now I can't select "Aux" on my idrive screen as it's greyed out...easy fix or do I have to bring it back to dealer?

If it worked before you took it in and now it doesn't, something may have gone wrong during the programming and if that is the case, they should be responsible. Make sure your end is ok first, audio player and cable. Usually if aux is missing, it's programming, and if it's grayed out, nothing is connected to the port. I hope it is the easy fix so you don't have to waste your time at the dealer again.

Do you have your iPod plugged in? You can't select AUX input if your iPod is plugged in, unless you use voice control and say AUX Volume and it will switch to AUX. I got a Y-splitter to use both iPod and hook up my blackberry for sirius or pandora.

Did you ever get a fix for this? I replaced the blower motor and now I am getting the same thing. The only thing I can select is AUX. I have checked connections several times still nothing.
