When your phone connects via BT, you sometimes need to select it and make sure the music/audio box is checked. (Configure Phone).

**Nevermind** you were asking about AUX

I have been trying to play music through the aux setting but i get no sound, the options i get are aux/rear, could it be i need some kind of software update

My option is Aux Front and the jack hole is in the centre console near the phone cradle...
There is also a USB port there, and that works with a usb stick, but not with a phone.

I also have a aux port in my arm rest, no usb though.
The only option on my command screen shows aux/rear
i do have a dvd in the rear but the jack for that shows headphones
Could my aux in my armrest be broken, is this common, any ideas how i can play music through my ipod would be appreciated

Figured it out, looks like previous owner left me with an aftermarket cable which never worked with my iphone

how did you make it work? i have recently acquired the same car but i cant get sound out of the aux/rear port.
please tell me the trick

I have a 2009 E70 with 3.5mm audio jack and USB
Wondering if there is a maximum size USB stick that is supported, I have a 16GB Plugged in and I get nothing when I select AUX, doesn't appear to read the USB and appear on the CCC?
Or should I try the iPhone to 3.5mm Audio jack to see if that works

Is the USB formatted to FAT or FAT32?

Sorry, wasn't clear, I actually meant it needs to be either of those...I had the same problem until I reformatted to one of those...I am using my USB now, I can pull it and check it if needed...

I tried the 3.5mm AUX socket with an adaptor on my iPhone, that did not play anything on the CCC, I think the USB/Aux module maybe faulty?
