iphoen 4 not getting detected

Hi folks

I just picked up a 2013 328 xdrive with premium and executive package.
My iphone 4 works and get connected via bluetooth for phone and it gets detected via aux for music (no controls via steering wheel)
My iphone 4 is not getting detected via the usb port on the center arm console.
I have tried 2 different iphones and multiple usb cable with no success

Please help

Thanks

The only way your car can work with a regular iPhone cable is if you have either one of these options.

1) You have extended bluetooth (Lets you stream music via bluetooth)
2) You have BMW Telematics (BMW Assist)

What I noticed that works is if you have an aux cable and a iphone connected both at the same time it connects via i-Drive.

I've connected my iPhone using just the regular USB cable it came with and it works fine. I don't have an Y cable. I can control it through the iDrive, the steering wheel and I also see album art.

I have the premium and exec packages.
