It says I can use the Apple cable in the brochure but it doesn't seem to work. It just says 'Not connected' on the screen.

2nd Gen X3 with Bluetooth and USB Audio delivered 2 days ago.

Any thoughts?
I think on depends on whether you have nav. With pro nav, definitely yes, all you need is the white Apple USB cable (I used to have a 3G and that worked). Without nav, I'm not sure, you may need a Y-cable that connects to USB and aux sockets in the arm rest. Hopefully someone without nav can put me straight if I'm wrong
