They basically want you to use your iPod like a big USB key. B&M doesn't read music in AAC format _bash_

All the adverts concerning the iPod's compatibility with the B&M system were commercial BS :(

God knows why Fiat chose Microsoft as a partner in the creation of the 500's entertainment system...

I thought MS can read AAC, As both my Vista Pc and my XBOX 360 can read it..... Im pleased I avioided B&Me and made do with a FM transmitter :yee:
I didnt really like the idea of having Windows on my Car

Hi guys.

Before I got my new 500 I bought a Ipod touch, since there is usb port connected to the b&m. When I ordered my 500 the dealer told me that I could use an Ipod connected to the usb port but he did not tell me that it only works on old Ipods. Does anyone have a solution to this....is there for an example an computer update or something for the b&m who makes the Ipod touch work with the car???_maestro_

The problem is not the AAC format, but the HFS+ filesystem that runs under iPod Touch and iPhone....
HFS+ is the Mac OS X default filesystem, so it won't be visible by the blue&me....

The same is for all those iPod used on Mac... Such as Ferrarista500's iPod Nano....

Simply try to format it and re-install the firmware on windows (I'm a Mac user too and I used Parallels) and disable the re-format in the iTunes on your Mac.

Fot the Touch and iPhone there is nothing to do. :( (for now)

I've given up trying to find a solution and started using a Sony Microvault instead in the Abarth.

Sony microvault is that another MP3 player?

Just a USB storage device.
