USB connection "flapping"
Picked up my F10 CP this evening - pix to come tomorrow once the sun comes back out. Pickup was in the late evening.
First problem encountered - when I plug my iPhone 5s in via the USB to lightning cable, it connects and disconnects rapidly on the phone - i.e. the phone makes sounds as if the plug is being connected and disconnected rapidly - and the icons at the top of the screen indicate the same. The same cable works fine to connect to my computer, so it's not the cable. Anyone seen this? I assume there's something wrong with the USB jack. |

there have been a bunch of reported problems with aftermarket 'lightning' cords - not necessarily specific to bmw but their quality in general. i would stick to apple. even the ones on amazon that are sold as oem have been questionable.

I used a brand new apple cable for the ipod and it worked for a while. It just started to get loose again and it keeps on disconnecting. It's annoying.
