Hi,

I have a new 1 series with the standard audio system and I can't get the iPhone 5 to connect via the Y cable. I've bought the standard Apple lightning to 30 pin connector and it just flickers as if the connection is intermittent.

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
