Just one issue. This is to do with the USB interface / Snap in cradle for the iphone 3gs.

I have purchased the snap in cradle and all this seems to do is charge the phone and I've been advised it uses the outside sharks fin for tx/rx. What it doesn't seem to do is allow ipod integration. So I got free of charge for the dealer a y cable which consists of an ipod connector one side, joined to a usb connector and jack plug. These connect to the USB socket and jack socket, next to the snap in connector.

I've done the connection but when I go into the idrive, into external devices. USB interface is not highlighted.

Does anyone have experience with an iphone 3gS running ios4 with this car? are there any issues?

or does anyone have any pointers please?
It will not show "usb interface" once you use the Y-cable but "iPod". At least this is what happens with my E90 at the moment. Alternatively I will get back to you in 3 weeks time when I receive my F10. Hope this helps...
