Did the dealer option ipod connection on my 07 E92 335 without idrive; ipod showed up as the cd changer but I could see playlists. The interface was a little confusing to use at first (and definately quite clunky compared to the native idrive + ipod integration) but workable. basically each *disc* in the *changer* is a different type of listing for the ipod. If memory serves it was something like-
disc1 = songs alphabetically
disc2 = artists alphabetically
disc3 = playlists alphabetically
disc4 = etc etc. (I don't remember past D3 cause I never used it).
I would suggest a look through the menu system with this in mind and see if you can access your playlists. I don't think the dealer install ipod option will show up like the real ipod integration; when I tried to get it on my 335 I was told it wasn't possible to add the actual ipod integration option because the controller was missing/not wired up. The dealer part hooks directly to the network and identifies as the cd changer.
