iDrive and iPhone 6 question.
I have the standard drive in my 1 series, i have got an iPhone 6 with music on, how can i get it playing through my drive console?
Do i need a white lightning cable? I have a Y cable but it does not have the iPhone 6 connection. |

For audio I use the BMW (expensive) Y cable connected to my old iPod Touch 32GB. When I want to connect the iPhone 6 for audio I use the Apple lightning to 30 pin adaptor - the one with 5 inches of flexible cable.
The alternative is to buy a 64GB USB drive and use it for audio. |

I just use a standard lightning-USB cable, but I have extended BT and a few other iDrive related options. Try it!

I used all of the following with great success:
1. BMW Split Adaptor for £50 (sent back) 2. Non-BMW Split Adaptor from Amazon £7.99 - works just as well as the BMW one, but more likely an issue on an iPhone 6 due to being most likely non-apple certified unless you find a non-OEM one that is. 3. With 2 above, purchased an eSynic bluetooth 4.0 wireless adpator from Amazon £16.99 which worked absolutely flawlessly. 4. Coded our car for EBT - cable cost £8.99 - car now streams via bluetooth and also allows use of standard iPhone cable in the centre arm rest USB. 4 is the best option, 1 the worst and most expensive for me. |

It depends on if you have a combox in the boot. Have you tried an Apple white cable?

I have the pro nav and am having issues adding music to the hdd. I have copied and pasted purchases from iTunes folders. The music is fine but on a number of albums the artwork only appears from track 11. Any ideas how to resolve this? All appears fine on the versions on my computer.
