Question re: Enhanced USB/Bluetooth coding
Does anybody know if it's possible to code enhanced USB in addition to enhanced bluetooth?
I'm trying to get my old iPhone to connect via USB. I have the 6FL cable connected to both the audio jack and USB port direct to an iPhone 4S that I'm using strictly as an iPod. This worked perfectly in my 2011 335is and 2010 535i. I was able to fully access playlists, artists, tracks, etc. through iDrive on the screen. Now, in my 2015 M3 which did not come with enhanced USB/bluetooth, using the same 6FL cable, I am only able to get playback from the audio jack itself. Sound comes through but none of the data for playlists, songs, etc. is coming through the USB cable. On the screen, when I press the media button, the USB connector on the screen is grayed out. It will say "reading" for about 3 seconds, then change to "not connected" for another few seconds, then says "not supported". Does anybody know whether coding can restore USB playback of my iPhone/iPod? Is it another issue? Perhaps there's an updated USB cable I need? Thanks! |

Solution - just use a white Apple USB connector connected to USB only. Voila - all info, album covers transferred to the display. Works fine now. Try that.
