Pre-Lci iDrive and iPhone
I bought a used 2008 E90 M3 with the iDrive.
How is the iPod/ iPhone adapter supposed to route? In all the pictures I see a usb port in the arm rest however in my car the cable is coming from the glove box. The interface for the iDevice is via CD changer as well which leads me to think it is an aftermarket solution. I have my iPhone wired up via a firewire 30 pin adapter to usb 30 pin to lightning adapter and it's actually all working really great. However I just want to run a regular iPhone usb to lightning cable instead of all these adapters. Also... What are the current aftermarket iDrive adapters? |

I have an 08 as well, original owner. The ipod/iphone interface was an option in 08 as I recall. I can confirm when I get home and look at the sticker. My car came with an adapter cord that splits and has a USB and a mini RCA plug that connect in the center armrest.

I purchased an adapter cable off eBay to plug into the old plug and have the outlet to plug into my iPhone 5. However, I lost the music playing capability LOL all that happens is my phone gets charged but I can't view my music on my idrive and can't even play it (eventhough the RCA plug is plugged in the original cord) Any help? THanks! |
