iPod Y Cable
Any of you lovely F30 owners get the Y cable included as standard when your car was delivered?
I just got mine delivered on Friday and there was no Y cable included. Going to go back and ask for one but just wanted to see what was happening across the UK with other owners. Cheers. |

I was planning to purchase a y cable from ebay too (not wanting to pay £46 from bmw), however I instead went with a 8gb usb stick. I couldn't be bothered with faffing about with a y cable and plugging my iphone in/out all the time. I just leave the usb stick in all the time and have had no issues with it.

I'm gonna get the media snap-in thingy. It's the only way to "properly" integrate your iphone into the car I don't have an iPod though and keep everything on the phone so it's just one bit of kit. Well, one bit of kit and about £2500 worth of options. Damn you BMW!

nice one, I couldn't cope with that amount of music at one time though. I'd be finished my journey by the time I'd chosen an album to listen too!

I use a Y cable for charging up my ipod which I use mostly for the gym and I will need one for my new F30.
My question is; are the eBay Y cables any good? For roundabout £10/12 or so, thats pretty cheap compared with BMW's price at about £40 or so. Anybody know? They usually offer the Y cable when you pick-up the new car. I would love to say: 'sorry I'm getting it off eBay!' |

Looks like i will be purchasing a Y Cable from Ebay, thanks for the info!
A few years ago in my E91 i fashioned my own iPhone 3 holder out of an Apple iPhone stand in place of the ashtray. Then when the iPhone 4 came out i sold the iPhone 3 version (for £55 on eBay!) and made another one. Now i have the F30 on order and the iPhone 5 is on it's way i'll have to make another! They both worked a treat as they were right at your finger tips when you had your hand on the gear stick. Suprising what you can do with a bit of plastic moulding, expanding foam, a dremel and matt spray paint! I think i may have to think of something different on the F30. From what i remember from my test drive the drinks holders are right where this would go. Not sure i want to lose the drinks holders. I'm sure i'll come up with something - will post some pics when i do!
