Thanks for the info! I didn't think he would be plugging it into the glove box instead of the armrest USB.

Note that it has to plug into the USB in the armrest and not the USB in the glove compartment (which is just for loading music onto the inbuilt hard drive via a USB stick).
AFAIK the "official BMW cable" hasn't been required for many model years now - certainly not on any of the "new generation" (HD display) iDrive versions.
