FWIW - I have a 2010 MCS, and got the cable from BMW last week. The problem is exactly as you all have described. Bummer.

2010?????????????
Well, I just upgraded my 1st gen Iphone and I now have a 32GB Black Iphone 3Gs. When I plug the phone in I get a message the the charger is not compatible. This pretty much blows, I hope MINI release a new y cable, or I'm going to have to keep using my old school Ipod which looses connection every once in a while. It kind of blows when your listening to a song and you hit a pot hole and your back to radio. Hope something comes out soon.

I have a 2009 MCS with the Bluetooth/USB and my 3g charges fine. it does ask me the airplane mode question most of the time but I just say no and it charges without issues. The only problem I have found is you cannot adjust the telephone volume as you can with other bluetooth phones (Using a motorola RAZR befor the Iphone) you can turn the volume **** eitherway but it does nothing.

Anyone else have any experiences with an iPhone 3G S or iPhone 3G with 3.0 OS?

Ok I had to reload the operating system on my iPhone and everything works fine now. And to answer the above question, it is a 3G on 3.0.

I'm happy to report the iPhone 3G is completely compatible with at least the factory installed usb/bluetooth Ipod kit with the y cable. With the iPhone 3G connected and playing music the phone part of the iPhone 3G also works great. I can receive and make calls. The music stops during a call and resumes playing when the call is done.

When you are on a call through Bluetooth, you can adjust the call volume on the phone itself (the buttons on the side).

Also, my iPhone 3G running 3.0 does not charge using the Y-cable.
