M3 without USB, how to play iPhone pandora/iTunes through stereo?

Black Gold · 12-24-2016, 11:14 AM

All,

Is there an oem Bmw connector that uses the aux jack in the center console to play music from my iPhone through the speakers?

Car is not equipped with USB. Any link or part number would be appreciated.

All cables I've seen have aux jack and USB...

Cant you get a regular AUX and plug it into the headphone jack on your iPhone? What year is your car, surprised it doesn't have a USB plug.

You don't need a special connector. Just get one of these cables and you're good to go:

I then have a cigarette lighter socket to USB to charge my phone if I need.

Check with the company called Carly that makes the diagnostics software. Pretty sure I saw an email from them that they are making a connector that adds bt audio that integrates with the radio and I think without needing the USB.

You could also use a Bluetooth adapter with the cable noted above by nuru to free up your phone.
