Old one supposedly does not charge the iPhone 3gS

So I guess even though BMW changed the cable part number (812), they are still putting the old cable (796) in the bag.
Thanks for clearing this up, but it still doesn't make sense that they are putting the old cable in a bag with the new part number on the label.

The cable may have updated firmware to support the 3GS.

No noticeable difference between the two cables physically at least. Waiting on my 2011 M3 to test.
