Recently purchased a 09 30i with sport and cold weather package. I was wondering if anyone has been able to get their iphone (6 or 7) playing music using factory stereo.
The cable that came with the car has the non-lightning connector. I was wondering if i buy the lightning cable (Part 61122354478) Cable adapter for Apple iPod / iPhone it will play music using the Aux in setting on the stereo.
thanks in advanced
Yes, you can do that or just by an aux cable and plug it in that way. I've found that for whatever reason a basic aux cable works better than the cable adapters; the adapters sometimes go in and out; with distortion (maybe it was just a bad cable in my case).

Thanks .... I tried the lightning cable and the aux screen on idrive goes from recognizing to not supported. :-( I sent bmw genius an email to see if my 09 can get a software upgrade to support the 7 .
Like you say the aux cable works fine. the only issue is that Apple, in their infinite wisdom, decided to leave out the stereo port on the iphone7 ... so I cant charge and listen at the same time..
Did you ever find out about iPhone 7 support?
