Yes. You can navigate all the menu trees, but the top level menu is "CD1" "CD2" etc and the adapter shows up as a CD Changer.
It's a fake mp3-cd changer. If you can remember "Playlists-Artists-Albums-Genres-Podcasts-Shuffle" You'll be fine. There are tons of pics of the UI if you dig a little.
You might be thinking of the first-gen iPod adapter for E46, which only really worked if you maintained the magical BMW playlists it looked for. The MOST cars use the 2nd-gen adapter which is fairly decent.
