iPhone and bimmer

[Mezmhn]

Hi,Finally got my bimmer e92. There is a UsB connection in the glove compartment. Has anyone tried using standard iPhone/iPod USB connection to see if you can control the song tracks via the steering wheel ?

It works like that on my e90 LCI. The phone becomes you music storage device. Can access via iDrive ...

Tried it on with the standard iPod USB - but I noticed that it only detects certain parts of the song list. Any ideas why this is happening ?

I have used my phone with the CHARGER connector, it always gives problems. But no probs using connectors that I purchase from Mac shop.

What do you mean by CHARGER connector ? I heard that you need to use a Y cable.

Okay ... The cable that comes with your charger has a USB connector at the charger end. I used that cable to plug into my cars and the iPhone does not work. But if you purchase the same cable from Mac shop it works. Clearer?

resurrecting this thread again
I have a e60 2003 year, what is the cheapest option to use my iphone/ipod via usb (with or without iDrive support)? I just wanna play my music from my iphone to the car audio.

thanks!
