08 E92 AUX to USB

KAnderson · 02-27-2018, 04:13 PM

Going to see and possibly buying an 08 335i, it doesn't have USB, only an AUX port.

If I buy an AUX to USB cable, then connect my lighting cable will the phone still charge and play music, or will I need to buy another cable?

My 07 E92 has Bluetooth for the phone and I use this to stream music

But i do have to have a separate cable to charge my phone. Works fine enough for me.

Does this just work as basically a bluetooth loudspeaker and works independently from the car?

Whoa what? My car has bluetooth (08 335xi) and the music never plays thru the speakers. (Iphone 6s)

With that little beauty, it will!

With either of these, music will play through car speakers.

I like the idea of the Bluetooth audio receivers, but I usually am charging my phone in the car anyway (6S Plus). FYI these act as a separate bluetooth connection and go through the 1/8 headphone jack to the AUX, not to the car's non-music Bluetooth link.

I currently run an AUX cable and lightning separately, but something I was thinking about was using one of these: belkin 3.5mm audio + charge rockstarin the armrest with my 12V -> USB charger, and 1/8 headphone -> AUX, while running a single lightning extension cable out of the armrest to my dash mount. Kinda a hack job but would be a single cable to the user.
