All beit I have 500+ songs but never seemed to be a problem in any of my other BMWS! told my dealer, they fixed it and it happened again the next day, does anyone else have this problem? They told me to hold the Volume button till it hard resets but that doesn't solve the issue.
Have you tried both USB ports ? I have had a mission to get my 20,000 strong lossless library into the car, originally on a iPod classic that didn’t play well at all. Anyway - whilst trying out various solutions I was getting different outcomes from the 2 USB ports, the one that worked most consistently was the one in the armrest. Well at least that worked for me anyway.

Wow. Had the car for 3 months and didnt even known there was an actual USB port in the armrest. Lol! Thanks for the suggestion, will try it tomorrow!!
