Since we don't know the exact audio options you have...plus we can't see what you're doing you may get more help if you either post the last 7 digits of your VIN (so they can do a VIN decode)...or do it yourself and post your audio options.

Throwing out some suggestions just from being in the dark to what you have and what you are doing/seeing:

  • You may need to use either a special "white Y" cable (that gets mentioned often)...and I believe there may be a special BMW cable that you may need to get your device and the BMW to communicate with each other to play music that is uploaded to your device.
  • When you say you can see "it" but its not in white...have you gone to SETTINGS --->>>CD/MULTIMEDIA and selected EXTERNAL DEVICES? If not, try that, then once external devices is selected...does your iPhone appear?

Hopefully the e70 owners that have the same set-up you have will chime in and be able to guide you better.

I thought SOS and assist were deactivated on all combox cars that did not get the BMW retrofit. Not sure how that affects pre-combox cars.

My 2/2010 X5 has CIC nav but no Combox.

So I have a side question, why do I have DVD slot on my dash and a dvd changer in my glovebox?

DVD slot in dash is for navigation disk, changer is for music.
