[QUOTE="Traveler, post: 380429, member: 7248"] By "For AUX cars", I meant cars with AUX-in but no USB (like my 07 325i Sports with iDrive, AUX-in, but no USB). I enquired with Sapura to do a USB retrofit, so I could have a USB port as well, but after checking they said it wasn't possible. Something to do with the head unit not having USB capability. Since I don't have the USB option, I had to go for an AUX approach, so I retain use of my CD changer, and get better quality than the FM transmitter approach. All the ones I had seen before, required manual control of the iPod (by this I meant you had to use the iPod's control wheel itself. The Kensington allows me to control the music via a remote mounted on the steering wheel. Not as good as the BMW iPod interface, but about RM1.3k cheaper. [/QUOTE]
