Has anybody else updated, and was it possible to connect Iphone/Ipad ?

Where's the userguide to explore the new functions? The actual userguide (as always) does NOT mention which USB-Audiointerface you can use or how to listen to Bluetoothsources, Control via Android/iOs-Device... so:

- Can I use ANY USB-Audiointerface to connect external devices?
- Can I play WMA losless via Android- or iOs- devices? 
- Can I control the Beosound 5 through an Android- or iOs-Device?


Sounds like the Beosound 5 is getting much more interesting! :)

Any detailed infos? 


EDIT: I'm still missing a manual forward search/cue function to move quickly inside a track, e.g. to reach 03min58s inside a track to listen to the solo etc.

I have been able to connect and control the Beosound 5 with both an iPhone and an iPad although much of the cover art does not work.

HI Razlaw,

how did you connect the iPad to your  Beosound 5? Special Software? Please share your knowledge :-)

I want to try it out today when I'm back at home.

First, it is my understanding that the Beosound  5 needs to have Audio Master set to on.

Second, my experience has been it is also necessary to have Music Server set to on, or yes, I forget which it is right now.

Third, an app needs to be installed on the iPad. My dealer has told me that B and O recommends Twonky. I could not get it to work at all on my iPhone but when installed on my iPad it worked.

I have also tried an app called Media Connect with some success.

DLNA Remote would not find the Beomaster.

The two that seem to work best for me are plugplayer and 8player. 8player was the quickest easiest set up, all was automatic. 

Twonky will actually turn the system on, or switch the system from whatever source is active to the music but dos not seem to work consistently. 

Also, you must choose A. Aux.

How dos you connect? Do you need MasterLink Gateway or is it purely WiFi through your home WiFi setup?

USB WiFI in BM5?

Bluetooth connection in BM5?

Can anyone answer that? Can´t finde details on bang+olufsen home page.

I´m looking forward to this if I can use my IPad and without the MasterLink Gateway which I don´t have.

Cheers

Henrik

I found another app. eLyric for iPad. Not only does it turn on the B and O, volume can be controlled from it, although it is a bit sensitive and easy to turn up too loud accidentally. The volume display on the BV7 responds also. Also, when an album is playing, touching the small icon opens it up to full page including album notes. Unfortunately, not all cover art is present.
