Default Who Makes The Stock ICE In BMWs?

As the topic says, does BMW license Alpine or another manufacturer to make their stereos?

Reason why I ask is that if you go to www.bmwusa.com and check it, BMW now has a connector to control your iPod through the stock stereo on the new 3, X series, and Z4.

Yup,

Chad, that's just the start. The technology is there and Alpine is getting first dibs after BMW. A year or two from now everyone will have ipod control.

Let all the BMW owners work out the bugs.

Yeah, I was just happy to see some actual application of this technology we've heard about but really haven't seen in action.

Just glad to see some progress.
