iPod Your BMW Officially Launched
chasingporsches writes "Apple today announced the iPod Your BMW campaign on their front page. According to the iPod Your BMW page, 'Connect with music like never before behind the wheel of your BMW 3 Series, and X3 and X5 SAV, Z4 Roadster or MINI. With the installation of an integrated adapter developed by Apple and BMW, you can now control your iPod or iPod mini through the existing audio system and multi-function steering wheel. Which means no loss of power. No loss of sound quality. No loss of control.' There is also a QuickTime TV ad available for streaming. Apparently it only works with 2002 or later BMWs and Minis, and the iPod connects to a cable in the glove compartment."
From the photo on Apple's web site, it looks like the iPod plugs into a wire in the glove compartment and that's it...there is no special cradle to hold the device. They should have come up with something to secure the iPod inside the glove compartment and prevent it from whipping around.

...to BMW 2002 or greater
Are you aware that a 2002 BMW (what you meant to say), and a BMW 2002 are two very different things?
