I've separately tested the Y cable (my wife's iPhone 4 connects fine) and the apple adapter for data and media. I tried to update the car software from the BMW update site, but the software is up to date, as you'd expect for a 2 week old car.
So I'm a but concerned at how people seem to have used adaptors to connect their iPhone 5, whereas I seem to be experiencing a compatibility problem. The phone connects fine over Bluetooth.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Did you ever get this resolved? I have an '08 535i and I'd been using a BMW Y cable through the AUX in behind the center console and power by plugging in the USB part of the Y cable into a USB car power plug. This had been working fine. I just got an iPhone 5S and tried using a cheap Chinese made 30 pin to 8 pin adapter AND another adapter cable but none work. I still get power but music only comes from the iPhone speakers. Has anyone been able to get the Y cable to work with this kind of adapter? Thanks.
