CCC iDrive Y-Cable?

HollowmanVIII · 03-09-2018, 06:59 AM

I have aux and usb in the armrest, however I also have an iPhone X which doesn't have a headphone jack.

Is there a cable I can get to play and display music through idrive?

At the moment I can only play music from my iPhone through the aux slot.

Hi there, I have a CCC type of i-drive and I think that is the only option, I have an airplay box that plugs in to a USB socket in the ciggy lighter for power, and also in to the aux socket for sound: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183021397119

And another thing, I did look in to how to do this too and one option is to upgrade to a CIC i-drive, much nicer screen and hidden boxes of tricks but it's upwards of £800 so I opted to settle for an airplay box.

I also thought about CIC but it's just too expensive, there's other things I'd rather get for the car. The CCC is dated but it works fine and the nav had the 2018 maps disc.

I did think about the Android iDrive system which can be had for £400 but worried about the longterm quality with it being aftermarket.
