Do you mean that I can plug in a large powered hard drive in or just a USB thumb stick? I want to permanently store my 200 gig music collection in the car, will this be possible?

Oh those were not my words you got it wrong It was a quote from a member of a forum.
I am trying to find out if I can use my iPhone with the white apple cable and plug it in Usb in F30. I don't want to use the y-cable because sound quality is not good with aux. Some say after 9/2010 Production cars you don't need the Y-Cable anymore you can just use the original white Apple cable to connect to iDrive . However some people disagree. These usb iPod audio etc options are confusing i think. |

So unless you have a USB Hard Drive that does not need power from the USB port I dont know how you will get 200GB onboard

You are quoting information for other BMW models The F30 has different specifications As far as i can tell from the technical documents you need combox to use the Ipod/Iphone USB. The USA models dont have it standard a I mentioned. Turkey models may be different USA models need the options I mentioned earlier Does Turkey have the 6NL option ?

In Turkey we have 6NH as standard and the other options are 6NK (220 euros) and 6NF (500 euros) . This is all we have.
And my dealer says that 6NH would be enough for bluetooth calls and connecting iPhone with the white Apple USB. So what are the advantages of 6NK and 6NF, don't know confused with all this. |

Some F10 owners run hard drives, but the owners manuals and BMW Tech manuals warn against it as the USB ports are not rated for the power they need.

I think it is indeed powered through the USB port but, like you also said, if the port doesn't give enough power then I wouldn't want to try it.

6NK adds a combox, so should allow Iphone USB connection, Album art,Email calendar and notes, contacts with pictures, music via bluetooth 6NH allows basic Bluetooth calls

Also, as with most current iPhone and iPod accessories on the market today, you play the music through the apple connection-- there is no need to plug in an additional headphone line. Thanks. |
