When I first got my new F25 (with most of the packages), I had the same problem. The Ipod worked with the Y-cable from my previous BMW, but not my Ipod cable. My BMW sales guy, who is pretty knowledgeable, insisted it should work.

I switched out Ipod cables and it worked! Even shows album artwork on the Idrive screen.

Make sure you are using a newer Ipod USB cable. I think Apple tweaked the design sometime in the past couple of years. I can tell which are my newer Ipod cables as they have a lower profile Ipod connector.
