Connecting iPhone 5 to BMW 328i?
How do you connect an iPhone 5 to the BMW 328i on board computer, I'm unsure what computer version (if any) it is. It is a 2008 bmw 328i Sport Package. I recently got this is a birthday gift from my dad. He used to connect his iPod 3rd Gen via USB port. When I plug my USB into the port and my phone and attempt to select the USB option on the entertainment section of the on-board computer it says "Selected device is not supported"
I'm not asking to connect it to blue tooth, that is already paired. I would like it to work so I can play music from my iPhone on the car speakers and be able to select music from the car computer. Right now I'm just stuck with a male/male cord and have to select music from the phone, which is a hassle.
I think you need the Y cable. Here's an explanation.

You may also need a software update which you can download from the BMW update site.
If that still doesn't work, check with the experts over at the forums on Bimmerfest.com or e90post.com
- Where will the iphone adaptor fit in my BMW? I have a BMW 116D Sport. Its a 2009 (59) plate. The steering wheel has a load of buttons for a bluetooth mobile phone connection. I was planning on buying an iphone 4/4S SnapIn adaptor so I can use my phone. The only thing is I've seen the adaptors and I can't see where it would fit in my car. In many other BMWs there's a space near the handbrake where an adaptor can fit nicely. Mine doesn't have this. Does anyone know where it would go?
- Radio broken in my BMW+want to play iphone songs? I can't see the radio stations in my bmw because the lcd display lights are broken. I want to fix this. I also want to be able to play my iphone songs. There's currently no way to input my iphone in the car. Is there something I can buy that would allow me to do this? I don't know much about tech, is a car stereo what I need?
- IPhone Bluetooth won't sync with bmw? - 1 I have a 2006 bmw 3 series and my iPhone 4S with the ios7 will not sync with my car. What should I do?
- IPhone 4S high pitched whine BMW? When I plug my iPhone 4S into my BMW via a 3.5 mm jack, there's a constant high pitch whine while music is playing. It is no affected by changing the volume on the phone (unless turned right down).It is nothing to do with the cable - I have tried three different ones, including a high quality home cima shielded cable. Why is this and what can I do to stop it? Get apple to replace the phone, or is it the car? Etc. Cheers.
