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.
I've only ever used the USB input in the glove box.

And when I plug in the iPod using the Apple cable, it says "device not supported". When I use the BMW Y-cable, it works like a champ.
