Ok, thanks a lot.
I've just measured a wait time of roughly 40 seconds with a 500Gb Lacie Littledisk, ~50Gb of lossless WMA files. I'll try to convert my FLAC collection to wav to see if I can get around 110Gb and compare with your times. The difference seems to be quite noticeable, then. At least for short trips to the supermarket |

Why not just get a big flash drive or two and not worry about power requirements for hard drives. They are large enough and cheap enough these days.. I mean I quadrupled the size of my xbox harddrive and saved tons of money by sticking a flash drive in the front of it. It boots from it, too. Besides the point, but I have an 06 without usb. Any knowledge of wiring a usb port into an 06 e90?

Many times I've had tracks that stop part-way through and skip to the next track, and later scanning on my PC showed up unfixable errors. |

I created a new thread because I somehow missed this one. I have an 07 335i with idrive/nav. I have the 2 usb slots in my center console and both ports work to charge my phone. I have tried 3 different usb sticks ranging from 4gb to 16gb and none of them power up. I have plugged them in before I start the car and after- no lights at all. Is it possible I have 3 sticks that are not compatible with the system? Is my firmware too old? I would have thought one of these drives would have worked. I have formatted them FAT32. Any ideas?
Is there is difference between the 2007 and 2008 models? Does anyone have the usb drive playing on their 2007? No mention of ipod in my manual and no usb in the glove. Last edited by eezeekial; 07-14-2013 at 11:03 AM.. |

You have the CCC iDrive correct? Yours is the same as mine in my '06 and they are not very sophisticated. Look up CCC iDrive here or Google for better information. I think you have to get it coded to play a CDR with Mp3's recorded on it. Our units do not play DVD's. That logo on the front of the iDrive unit is for the DVD navigation DVD only.

I've converted all of the mp3's to 256kb constant bitrate, and stripped all image data out of the id3 tags before sync'ing it. This thread is full of people with 40+GB and 1-3m scan times... what's the trick? |

I have a non-iDrive HiFi system w/Professional HU. I also have BT for the phone but not the audio. I am using a Sandisk 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive formatted to FAT32 and it seems to work just fine. Very clean audio and the only issue I've had is that it just takes a while to read the entire Drive. But once it's read, no issues.
Edit: After six days, I have noticed that while the car recognizes the USB and never disconnects, it seems to keep playing the same 30-40 songs over and over (I use Random all the time) so I guess there IS an issue.
