USB Not Connecting

Post by RTRascal »

Hey everyone!  I have a new 2019 RT and love it.  I've connected my iPhone to the USB port to stream music through the speakers but the bike never recognizes that the phone is connected.  I've tried several different cables but that didn't matter.  Thoughts?

You need the BMW iPhone adapter cable that’s plugs into both the USB and 3.5mm connector.

If your Iphon has the IPOD type connector then this https://www.amazon.ca/idrive-Adapter-Ma ... &sr=8-1But you need to have a comm system installed on your helmet &/or a NAV V/IV to link your Iphone too.

Your dealer sucks, mine sells them. And Amazon used to sell them but I don’t see it there now.
They’re also on eBay:
