Best Music Library option.

[M5pnw]

Posting this here because im more likely to get an answer. In my audi s5 I put my music library on to an sd card and it had a slot for it. In this car should I just get an Ipod touch and put my library on there? Which cable should I use, because I searched it and I guess people had problems in the past with the ipod cable not working. I don't wanna do Bluetooth because it sounds like crap.

thanks

I haven't tried it but I've heard of others using a flash drive, following as I am interested in trying this as well...

Why cant you just use a USB flash drive?

I loaded a decent selection of my music onto the iDrive's HDD and play it off there.

Alternatively you could play it off a USB, but that means you've got it plugged in to the USB port in either the armrest or glovebox all the time.

I have an old iPod in the glovebox plugged into the USB there. Not sure why I did that instead of a flash drive. Probably because the ipod has more capacity than any flash drive I had handy. On very rare occasion the ipod will freeze up and I have to restart it, but I think that's just because it's old as dirt.

can you control the music on the usb with the steering wheel buttons and does album art come up?

Yes and Yes (in my M5 with the NBT system - I assume it should be the same in the earlier F10s with the CIC system).
