iphone connection to usb and aux

[aznoo1]

Anyone buy a connector for their iphone 5s/6. I got the old connector for the 4s and older generation iphones. Does any of the ones on ebay work?http://www.ebay.ca/itm/iPod-iPad-iPh...3c1984&vxp=mtr

Or did someone figure out how to connect it through the bluetooth connection?

Thanks

(I have 2011 z4 3.5i if that info helps)

The ebay cable shown should work fine. We got two separate cables for my wife's 2013 35i, but they basically perform the same function as the one shown. As for Bluetooth, it only functions for the phone connection, not streaming audio.

I was able to use my iPhone 4s to listen to music on my 2012 via Bluetooth. I know it worked for music stored on the phone. I think I used it with pandora once, but I can't guarantee that.

Bluetooth streaming may be possible with iDrive, but my wife's car does not have it.

I have both iphone 5s and iphone 6 and use the apple lightning cable to the USB and select "ipod" on the stereo. Pandora and other streaming music works fine but I need to use the phone to control fast forward/stop and change channel. My '12 35i has the factory stereo upgrade and no idrive

I am pretty sure that cars without the idrive can't do bluetooth audio streaming

Gotcha. I did have idrive.

From what I have read and is my understanding, is that Bluetooth wireless Audio streaming is ONLY available if your Idrive has the Combox module (available only after 2010 models). Without that, you can only use Bluetooth for phone calls.
