At the moment I am waiting for the next generation (no date known) of iPodYourBMW.
In the mean time, using the stardard and well thought out aux input in the armrest works for Gen 1 through Gen 4 iPods. The 12v power supply turns on and off with the engine (unlike the e46) so you can leave it plugged in all the time and not drain your car battery. Your total outlay is about $5 for the 1/8 inch to 1/8 inch audio cable.

Who should we contact for the next generation of iPodYourBMW?
This iPodYourBMW was developed in BMW Palo Alto offices. BMW website says that they have 12 employees working in that office (Strange number). With that kind of low number of employees Will they get about to get the next generation of iPodYourBMW out soon?

So I have been doing some research. Aparently The E90 uses a system called MOST (media oriented system transport) it's basically a fiber optic network that runs through the car and ties varrious systems togeather.
Dension, who makes the Icelink Ipod interface, aparently is working on a kit that will tie the Ipod to the Most network but when I emailed their rep (tom@densionusa.com) he couldn't give me an exact date. Their Press release says second quarter of 2005. but I am not holding my breath.
I couldn't find anything except rumors about an update to the BMW version, so I called BMWNA customer service and asked if there were any plans to Update the Ipod your BMW accessory to work with the navigation system on the E90. Her answer was "no". Aparently someone had asked the same question earlier and she looed into it and was told "not any time soon"
So there you go.

I am impressed Will-San.
I am buying a 325i without Navi. So will it still have MOST or is it with NAVI/iDrive only?
