Need help with cables

[MajorBuzzKill]

Hi , im new here so im not sure if this is the correct forum category. I have a bmw which needs a special cable in order to listen to musc with AUX in directly what your phone plays.

If you only use usb then you can only play whatever is on your phone and you pick it through the cars screen. The specific cable for the car is very short and it only has a lightning output,

i spoke with a person on a BMW service and dealer company and they had no idea. For soem reason its only possible to use bluetooth for contacts and speaking through your car but not to play music which i find stupid.

Together with my iphone i have a Samsung Note which has a ucb type-c port , i was trying to find a lightning female to usb type a female so i would have to use many cables and adapters and swap every time.

The picture below is the only thing i could find but i cant find where to purchase it. If you have any easy alternatives please dont be shy and keep in mind that i live in Greece so i might not be able to order some things.

Car model: BMW 125D 2013

 

Thanks!

yea you need an car based forum, it is a tech related question but most people here will be same glueless as me.... can you order an longer cable?  or can you update the car´s software to or some settings to use bluetooth as musci player also? but best suggestion is to find a bmw fanboys forum, better chance to get some useful info there

just get a bluetooth to AUX to play your phone's music through the car audio (aux input).

Holy sh*t thank you , i will keep that in mind.

but notice that it has a small battery, find one that can be powered from the lighter for continuous playback.

Haha i was just about to post that it needs charging and you cant use it while charging from what i noticed but this one doesnt : 

 

Is it the same sound quality though? When you use these.

The sound quality i don't know.

I can't remember the last time i use it.

This guy said it was ok.
