iPods and nav professional

Hi I know you need a bmw y cable or similar to connect your iPhone to your nav system instead of blue tooth

To connect an iPod shuffle do you need a bmw cable or do you just use apple white one which comes with your shuffle? Does this connection charge and play?

Thanks

The use of the Y-Cable depends on your Year and specs.

If you have Pro iDrive and it's a late 2010(ish)build then it should only need the standard white apple cable.

Whichever one you end up using, it charges and plays.

All iPhones/iPods are the same as far as the car is concerned.

I had an ebay cable and it caused dropouts etc. Genuine BMW works perfectly for the last 4 years. YMMV.
