Anyway the parts guy tells me that smart phone interation may already be in my car X5 but can't seem to; or maybe just won't tell me how I can tell if it is.

Is there a way I can tell if it's already installed;?or I'd the wiring is there for a DIY project?
"Even with the new wire its difficult to get the phone to charge"

What do you mean exactly. If you have the updated y-cable it will charge ... Always.. unless the cable or iPhone is either faultly?

As for the cradle accessory, you can add the base plate and cradle after the fact but it will only allow the phone to charge and allow it to use the external antenna. No iPod functionality since you don't have option 6NF
