Upgrading iPod Connectivity: USB software download from BMW GB site
Read in the March issue of Autocar that there is a small piece of software that can be downloaded form the BMW UK website that allows you to upgrade the iPod Connectivity software on all late model BMWs such that it now shows artwork for songs as well (not just name lists)
I have looked around and could not find anything on the BMW UK website and was wondering if any of you had seen/tried this out? The article suggested that when you plug in your USB into the USB port, the iDrive recognises the file and will upgrade your Professional Media software so that artwork is now visible when you scroll through songs and when playing a selected song. |

According to the explantion of this update, it only improves the "Speed and Stability" (?) of the interface to the USB. I did not see anything regarding album artwork. Check out the website above and look at the pdf file they have.

The PDF says doesnt apply for any F10's save the touring either. I downloaded, but I certainly don't have the Settings/Software Update option in my idrive, so couldn't do anything with it.
Wishful thinking methinks |
