USB iphone interface problem

sometimes when I switch to "ipod" input, after a few seconds it jumps back to "FM" input. Anyone else has seen this issue?

Quite a few people have experienced quirky behaviour of the iPhone / iDrive when connected by USB. The best connection is via enhanced Bluetooth.

Are you using the BMW Y-cable or the stock iPhone cable?

Is it a pukka Apple lead or another brand? Reason being I bought an iPhone lead from a supermarket and this for some reason would lose connection all the time.... I then replaced it with an Apple lead and its now perfect.
