Default 2010 550i usb/aux both inop BT works though

Hi,
I just picked this car up last week, and was trying to get iPhone to stream music to the system. This care does have Nav and BT. I found the usb/aux port under the snap in cover in the console. I bought a Viseeo w3000-b to plug in and use for streaming music. The problem is, when I plug it in it gets no power, tried also just plugging an iPod and cable in, no go, so then I got a 3.5mm phone plug to see if I could just get the music to go through aux. Nothing, no sound when selecting Front aux port, shows active also on iDrive/Nav. I am wondering if it could just be the usb/aux plug unit or something else, not sure how to get the plug out of the console, as I am unsure how to remove the console parts like the front cover next to shifter and the storage insert.

I saw someone had mentioned that the usb hub was bad on theirs, but they had aux in audio which mine doesn't work either.

Any ideas?

Suggestion: try using a thumb drive in the center console USB port. record the music in a WMA format. Go the Idrive and set the system to USB. All this to establish connectivity with the system.

Yes, it is, the first one didn't show up, and didn't realize that it was because the moderator needed to approve it.
