My Ride: 2008 535xi Platinum Gray Metallic
-ready to mod
Hey guys. I recently took delivery of my 2008 535xi yesterday. 
It comes with the premium package and ipod integration. It charges just fine with the USB but it says that the device is incompatible. Any ideas?

I assume you have tried to use your BMW 6fl cord but if like mine, it will not charge the Iphone or itouch, but works fine on the smaller ipods. I hear when apple changed the OS it effected how it charges. I use another BMW cord but it was a bit pricey and you can find it online cheaper than at the Dealer There is also something else that might work and if it does, I think it's better because of it's size.

I beleive Best Buy has them. I took a used one from eBay and it wouldn't work for me. I have no idea if it was a functional piece or not though... Maybe try Best Buy first. Also if you search a bit on this forum you should find a look more information that might help you.

My Ride: 2008 535I Manual
To solve the same issue I got a new OEM cable. Manufacturer Part Number: 61 12 0 440 812
The OEM cable 61-12-0-440-796 did not charge for me.
