2014 X3 35i - Media snap-in adapter

I purchased the iPhone 4 media snap-in adapter for my new 2014 X3 which has all the required connected drive software and hardware. Most of the features of the adapter work fine (BMW apps, video, etc), however, I am unable to see any option for the "plugin" feature. This is a feature which enables the "TV Out" iPod functions to show an iPod-like navigation look on the IDrive screen.

I took the car over to the dealer tonight and they patiently worked with me to see if they could fix it. They even tried another snap-in to see if that was the problem, but there was no difference. They could not get the Plugin option to appear. They offered to take the car and do some reprogramming, but they were unsure what the problem was. I told them maybe some other time.

Does anyone know if the snap-in features are controlled by coding? I have coded a number of changes to the car, but I don't recall anything specifically related to the media adapter.

Here is a link to the part by the way:
