Still no solution

After spending three hours at my BMW dealership on Saturday morning, and with no less than four BMW sales and service people looking at it, I still have no solution to the smartphone integration problem. I had them check the part number for the snap-in adapter that I purchased and it is supposed to support both the telephone and music (media). Bottom line...it doesn't work. It shows the track that is playing on the screen, but no sound comes out of the speakers. We tried every possible configuration. The BMW "experts" were as befuddled as I was.

I decided to return the snap-in adapter and use the "y" cable in the USB port in the armrest /console. If anyone is considering the smartphone integration, I would submit the following "cons" -- (in addition to the fact that it probably won't work)-- You have to take the phone out of the case every time you want to put it in the dock, and the dock itself takes up most of the storage space in the console.
