The thing is, it doesn't say anywhere that they are not compatible and the engineer did say "it must be a design fault" in the iPod nano, as apparently it doesn't work with the iTrip either.

So, I'm left with an iPod, and an IPod adaptor which is of no use to me.

Anyone else had this problem?

Hi MiniLou
I have an Ipod Mini and have just had the Ipod adaptor installed by BMW which I think is useless, when you start the engine and drive for about 10 minutes its fine, then from no where turns its self off??? and I can never get the thing to work until I pull over and re-start the engine again??? what a waste of £225.00 !!!!
