Sven,
Did you ever receive any responses to your question?

I purchased a Rockfish USB cable for the IPhone, IPod or IPad. i connected it to my IPhone 4s and into the USB connection in my 2011 128i convertible. I am mainly using it to play Pandora through the BMW hi-fi stero. Everything was working great for a day or two. IPod icon shows up in the audio screen, there is great cd quality sound and song information was being displayed on the radio screen. One evening while I was driving later at night I hear a loud popping sound coming from the radio speakers. I look at the radio display and it goes blank and no sound, shortly after that there was a second loud popping sound and the radio comes back on and Pandora starts playing again. When Pandora starts playing again there is a completely different station playing. I was listing to a soft rock station before the popping sounds and when Pandora came back on it was a country music station. I am wondering if Pandora was having transmission problems and did a reset or was it my radio.

I do have the BMW y-cable but it is so short. Recently when using the y-cable, the radio was not displaying the IPod icon when hitting the Audio button. The Aux and USB icons show. The y-cable is 3 years old and don't know if there is a loose wire or connection in it.
