You have to open BMW connected on your iphone first and then connect it to car with the wire. Then it should be ok.

As you have the media cradle, you obviously don't need to connect by wire, but as m-black says, you have to start the App. The info should then appear on the iDrive display.

Just to check the connection is OK, does the other connected info come up on your app (on your phone screen)? e.g. the fuel level, range etc?
