no. you can use that (the headphone jack part) if you have an AUX output on the center console facing the rear seat. however, if you dont have the factory adapter with USB you wont be able to control it through the idrive. you likely dont have that because if you did, you would probably already have that cable.

I dont see any on ebay. i got mine from the dealer, it cost $500 installed. it hooks up to the cd changer input in the glove box and requires programming from the dealership.

If your car is outfitted per the specs outlined on the page you linked to, then yes, that is the right cable since you are asking for an iPod connector.

If not, and it turns out you need the entire interace, you need the retrofit kit as listed above.

FYI, I have an extra cable - brand new - for signfiicantly less than the price listed on the auction page.
