My iphone 3GS worked fine with my 2008 X5. I purchased the adapter on Amazon to allow it to charge with the included BMW iPod cable.
Now on my 2010 it doesn't work at all. With or without the adapter the iPhone says that it is not charging. And the iDrive system isn't recognizing the iPhone at all.
What am I missing?

The original y-cable works - just ignore the message - but might not charge your phone. Actually it may charge it if you keep connectng and disconnecting a few times. It's simply unreliable. I gave up on that because I found the hard drive a better solution for my music. If you need to charge the phone, just use the original iPhone USB cord instead.
