The factory system cannot be retrofitted. There is a dealer installed non-USB iPod interface and Denison seems to have a USB unit. Do a search.

Recently, BMW came out with a retrofit USB connection.

But it only applies to Business or Audio radio. The OP has iDrive. (And US spec cars have only Professional radio or higher so it doesn't apply there either.)

step 1: Place laptop in car
Step 2: Connect USB
Step 3: There is no step 3!!!

Hey guys, if your car didn’t come with it(even though there is a kit for it, and the retrofit is in the programing station) you can't do the retrofit. Just got word today that BMW is not planning the retrofit for 2007 or 2008 models, and they emphasized that do not attempted any retrofits. So maybe in the future.....??????????
