My Ride: 535i

This is my first post...

I just bought a 2008 535i and am having issues with the connection to my iPhone. I originally understood that the USB connection would power the phone however I am getting an "unsupported message." Is this an issue with the connection or potentially with my 3G iPhone?

Welcome! On an '08 car, you need the special "Y" cable that came with the car. It plugs into the USB connection and the Aux in connection in the center console. Is that what you are using or simply the USB cable that came with the iPhone...

Welcome to the boards.

Search the Phone section , this has been covered like a beating a dead horse.I'm willing to bet there is a post on the front page about it.

Thanks. I will certainly look in the phone section.

I am using the center console connection, and obviously need to do a little more research.

Appreciate the point in the right direction.
