Which one do I need to get? Just a regular USB plug like I use to connect the iPod to my computer? I should have my 09 in the next week or so, and I want to be ready. Searched, but couldn't find confirmation.

Thanks.

 

Yup, all you need is that famously overpriced iPod cable

 

just be sure it matches your car's interior color

 

You don't have to buy the expensive Apple cable. I bought the $19 Griffin cable from Best Buy and it worked just as well. Have not had an issue with it yet.

 

got mine at Tarja - came in acura ebony

 

FYI. By comparison, a buddy of mine just bought a new '08 M3 Coupe. The "normal" ipod cable won't work..... but BMW will sell you one that does for about $350. Amazing.

 

Yep, I grabbed a nice black griffin cable and it works great, i have my black ipod classic sitting in that little cubby above the center console..

S2000 Driver - good work! that's the one I went with. I dont really use the cig lighter end of it. - but I could later on - maybe on trips the kids could use it to power their iPod - the black USB cable disappears in the ebony interior. - looks to me better than the white cable

 

I'm a bit late to the party, but I just got my 4G last week. I get all of my cables from Monoprice.com. I have a 3G iPhone, and use the following cable that cost $1.62 plus shipping:

I also use a car charger for when I stream music from Pandora:

Grand total for both shipped was $6.72.

 

that beats the $350 bmw cable and target

 

I can personally vouch for monoprice.com.

I purchased all the cables for my home theater system through them and the quality, service, and price are all top-notch.

You can't go wrong with them and you will save a lot of money in the process!

 

monoprice is fantastic!

 

I can vouch for monoprice as well. Bought many a cable from them. Their prices are unmatchable and quality is suberb!!!
