Hi Guys

When i stream music via bluetooth i dont seem to have an issue.

When i connect my iphone with the cable so that the album artwork displays, etc it sometimes works fine but other times it freezes with the artwork of the first song played and you can only change songs by skipping on the phone.

Does anyone else have this issue? I have the 40 year anniversary edition

thanks

Maybe try using the Bmw Y cable and see if this solves the issue. I also had issues using a non oem apple cable. Works seamlessly with oem apple cable

thanks @32fiver , iv actually bought something from them before. they were the only people i could get a 30m hdmi cable from in 2010.

Wouldve just bought this ycable instead of the energizer cable i got for the car if i had know.. its actually cheaper.

Cool. For some reason BMW cars are very anti aftermarket parts/cables. Hope you come right

seems like the original apple cable doesnt give issues, will keep using it and see if it happens again :) thanks all
