ipod plays 2 songs then just keeps scrolling

dakine · 12-20-2008, 06:56 PM

I tried searching and couldnt find anything like this. I have a 2008 coupe, non iDrive with iPod option. If I go to play a playlist, it'll play about 2-3 songs and then the stupid thing keeps on scrolling to the next song, next song... etc. without playing anything... anyone hear of this?

Are you using the BMW lead or just plugging the apple lead in as this does some thing simular if you dont have BMW I pod lead.

i had the same problem although i finally realized that i wasn't playing the iPod but the mp3 cd and had forgotten to switch. I think i burned the MP3 cd too fast which caused it to skip.. make sure you actually have the ipod selected and not a CD!

I'm using the ipod cable from bmw and haven't used CD's until this started happening. I had this problem a couple times before, but solved it by plugging in my other ipod which i guess resets the memory or something... but then I switch it back to pod#1 (the newer 160 classic) when the nano starts acting stupid... i took it into the dealer once, and they said they were going to check the software version and gave it back to me... happened again soon after that.... lame-0. now i'm kind of wishing i got the navi option even though i like the clean look better

My stupid 2008 328i cd wont play mp3 properly. For $38k you would think the car can do something my 10yrs old acura can do. Does anyone have same problems with their bmw? How do you get it fixed - I take it to the dealer but they say if the cd player plays regular cds ok, then there is nothing wrong with it. But if I put an mp3 cd in - it will skip like 100times per song.
