    Connecting my iPhone to X5 2010 - cables help please!

    Hi all!

    New to the forum and new to owning a BMW! I picked up my X5 2 weeks ago, and it's great except for the reason I'm posting this message - connecting my iphone for music.

    I used my Apple cable and nothing seems to work - it is charging the phone, but it's not showing as an option in multimedia. After a little look online, I found out BMW have their own cable for music connectivity, and when I called AGMC they quoted me 597AED for what I needed - that's a lot of money for a cable! I checked Amazon in the UK and they have 3rd party cables for about 40AED, but before I buy one there and ask my next visitors to bring it with them, is there anywhere in Dubai that stocks replica cables like this anyone knows of?

    Appreciate any advice so I can stop listening to the terrible adverts on Dubai radio once more!

    Thanks,

    Joe

      Thanks Wazif - it is a cable I hadn't seen before, one end has both USB and AUX (into car) and the other end has Lightning and AUX (into phone)

      A search on Amazon shows a lot of them available and listed for BMW & Mini Cooper. There must be similar 3rd party cables in Dubai I would have thought?

      Thanks,

      Joe
