Playing other audio from Iphone5
Thanks to many helpful guides, I have got my iphone 5 working well... Apart from when I want to play other audio through the sound system.
If for example I'm playing some music from iTunes and then I try and use a 3rd party app like BBCiplayer to stream a podcast, it works for like 3 seconds and then switches back to the iTunes song. It does the same for the apple podcasts app, although I have found a workaround by navigating to the podcasts through the menu (but that doesn't help if I Want to stream one) Any ideas? Im currently connected via the iphone cable and a lighting 30 pin adapter. I have BMP Pro Nav with extended Bluetooth.

OK great! Is Pandora available in the UK? I couldn't find it when searching for it in the apps store on my phone earlier...
Thanks for the tip!

Not sure about Pandora, but Aupeo! should be an equivalent app/solution for you. You have BMW Apps on your car, correct?

I HAVE but i cant get the damn thing to talk to my BMW connected app - every time I try the self diagnosis tool, it fails.
Im awaiting for the Y cable to come through and will try again, as at present in the ConnectedDrive menu I don't see BMP apps.... Will try that app you suggest also, thanks

I use Spotify on my iPhone 5 in the vehicle with no issues. I find that if you try to change tracks with the vehicles controls on a non-native app, the vehicles audio will revert back to the native music player (iPod etc). I get around this by selecting/skipping tracks on the phone itself. The covers and song titles appear on the car but I've noticed that the track progression bar and time is incorrect.

Sam S, great advice! Thanks so much. Off to my dealer on Sunday so I'm sure all will be revealed!
Final question, can movie files be played off an external drive, or USB? Like avi or mov or can you only do from the DVD player/disc?
