Audio Input Cable for newer Ipods
I recently purchased a 2015 Countryman S All4. I am using an older Ipod and can access the complete menu of the IPod via the standard radio - choice shows as an Ipod. The new Ipods use a different cable - the charging port is different. I bought a cable via Amazon for the newer Ipod - plugged it in and the newer Ipod does not show on the radio - it does but not as an Ipod - I think it says auxiliary - not sure. So you can play the new Ipod but you have to access the menu on the Ipod itself instead of through the radio. The older Ipod is using a cable from Mini that I got with my older Clubman. Is there an "official" Mini cable that will work with my newer Ipod that display's the Ipod menu on radio?
I know very confusing!

For your year of Countryman you need to use a Y-cable to connect to an Apple device. If you already have one that works with the 30-pin iPod connector and want to use a newer, Lightning port equipped device, the best bet is to buy the Apple 30-pin to Lightning adapter so you can use your existing cable. Newer cables exist, but they cost a lot more money than just an adapter.
