Since audio seems to be the number one complaint, could you guys please elaborate a bit more on that "optical cable"?
What is it and how/where is it connected?

Without the AUX cable, which audio source needs to be selected in the original iDrive in order to hear sound coming from the Android side?

Thanks in advance.
