I can't connect my iphone xr to my car with apple (original) cable, message indicates that use a BMW approved cable or something.
What do you guys use for listening your phone apps like Pandora or what your phone offers. I saw some cables selling on ebay etc. but also many people complains they are not working too.
Thanks in advance
if nothing, FM that is for us i guess

I use a genuine Apple cable to listen to music in my X3. I originally used Bluetooth for a short amount of time but I noticed the audio quality would sometimes go back and forth. Maybe it was my iPhone 7's bluetooth...idk.

To help try and solve your problem, I would recommend buying a new cable. From what I've experienced, it seems that lighting cables can be a bit finicky when it comes to using them in cars. The slightest wear to a lighting cable will cause my phone to disconnect/reconnect to my x3 constantly.

I have an original Apple cable that works everywhere else. I know what you referring to with after market cables if you use for iPhone etc. but mine came with the phone and iPhone works everywhere with this cable but BMW.
One other note that, i connected my phone to car with Bluetooth but works only for phone calls. I can't use Bluetooth connection to listen music or streaming from my phone.

you probably do not have the enhanced bluetooth option to allow for things other than phone calls to be received by the X3.
