The adapter, which has a special connector on it, snaps into that.
This is great info. I have Nav, Blootooth and BMW Assist. I don't have BMW Apps. So buying just an adapter from ebay will not solve my problem of watching videos thru iPhone as I dont have that extra piece of HW in the armrest box. I simply have USB port there.
