Only took delivery of my new M2 last week. Really pleased, however . . .

One feature that is annoying is that when I plug my iPod into the armrest USB, it is not recognised correctly by the car. Looking around on forums suggests the use of a Y-cable that plugs into USB and AUX. Spoke to sales staff at dealership yesterday and they said that there are several genuine versions of Y-cable about, as well as the cheap copies that should be avoided, but my car is too new for one to work. Does anyone know different?

M2 is 2017 MY, with HK. I didn't specify either of the Enhanced Bluetooth options as I only envisaged wanting to connect a single Bluetooth device (iPhone) and a single USB device (iPod, for big music library). Apple Car Play Preparation was not there as an option to tick when I selected final specification.

Thanks for any help.
