BMW M3 Forum (E90 E92) - View Single Post - iPhone works in a 2008 but not in a 2011.5???

I finally picked up an iPhone 4 the other day and the audio has been cutting off and throwing the radio back to FM AM. My car is a 2011.5 bare bones other than the iPod connection in the center console.

So I drive to the dealer and ask someone if they've heard of anything like this before. One of the salesmen walks out, tries out another Y connector which fails to correct the problem. He proceeds to tell me to buy a 3.5mm audio jack and connect both the audio jack and iPhone connector to the phone if I want it to work. Not happening. So I decided to try the BMW supplied Y cable on my friends 08 M3 which is fully optioned and it worked flawlessly. Doesn't cut out at all and charges the p hone as well.

At this point I know it isn't my phone or the supplied Y cable. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do next?

Thanks in advance.
