"Y" USB-Audio cable for the M4?
I remember there was a "Y" shaped USB and Audio cable for connecting the iPhone 5/5s, but don't know exactly what they are for?
My iPhone streams music via bluetooth to the car stereo system, so what else I can do if I buy that cable? Can someone explain what it does and if its worth it?

It seems everyone on the boards uses the regular ol' lighting cable. I happen to have the newest BMW Lightning Y cable and I'll test it out when I get my car. I don't really think it's going to unlock any extra features like the old 30 Pin Y cable did. Ah the good old days...

I have the E9x Y cable, it appears to not work in this car, though I am using both the USB and aux in like the E9x. Maybe I'll try just the USB. If not I guess I'll just get a lightning cable for the car.

Y cable is old technology. My 2010 E92 M3 came with the Y cable, but when my wife got her X5 in 2012 we were told the Y cable was no longer needed. She connects her ipod with the Apple USB and has all functionality.
