In my understanding - Nav package or not, in order to control and play music (without album art) from your iPod/iPhone, you need a BMW y-cable. I connected the white apple USB cable directly to the car and all it said is "Charging". In order to integrate your music from iPod/iPhone, you need BMW Assist package (you get Album art displayed as well).
Someone please correct me if I am wrong. This is what my experience was. The amazon cable did work, but it kept on disconnecting intermittently.
