Playing iPhone only with USB connection ?
Hi guys
Since a few days, I can no longer play my iPhone using the BMW USB cable... I must ALSO plug-in the AUX cable (!) My car just came back from BMW for a small repair, could this new problem come from a new firmware ? I don't have NAV nor 6NR Can you play your iPhone only by USB ??? |

Not sure what you mean by "BMW USB" cable as the BMW Y cable has USB and AUX and both need to be connected if you don't have nav. A standard white USB cable will only work if you have the tech package (US) or a nav package

Yes, I think the USB passes the control of tracks and information to iDrive. The AUX is for sound. You need both if iDrive can't decode the digital feed into sound

I swear I was able to play my iPhone with the black BMW Y-cable before the dealer made the repairs, only by connecting the USB plug !
With NAV or 6NR... And now, I can't ?!?! Going to check out with the dealer as it looks as I'm the only one on the forum that was able to make it work like that before... |

You may have accidentally uncovered the fact that all F25s come with a combox but it's switched off unless you pay for it?? Yours was switched on by mistake in this scenario and the dealer corrected it. Total conjecture!
