Professional system single cd and aux
In the pro system with single cd -- when you plug the aux cable in and iPhone in do you navigate thought songs via idrive and using the idrive system ???
Also when pairing the phone wirelessly to Bluetooth can you scroll through contacts etc via the idrive controls ??? |

2. Yes you can, it is very easy. Also, besides the contacts, you can see the recent calls dialled and received.

Y cable is the one that has the iphone/ipod connector on one end and the other end is split to a USB end and an Auxiliary (pin) end. It does charge the phone at the same time. You can get the Y cable from BMW (in Greece it costs 80 Euro) or from Amazon (like I did) for around 20-25 Euro.

I did order the advanced the Bluetooth/USB connectivity extra at £180ish i think without looking but only got the additional Bluetooth functions for the phone connection, was told that the extra for the USB just allowed transfer if album art and connectivity if you ordered the additional Internet option. |
