Maybe you need to turn the volume up all the way on your iphone once its plugged in.

nope because the music is still coming out of my iPhone it never switches over to my car speakers and i also forgot to mention the cable is working when plugged in it does charge my phone and I've tried too different cables when using the iPhone cable no message comes up @ the USB option and when i use my iPod cable i get a message saying this devise is not compatable

Maybe its a BMW problem not an Apple problem. The dealer might need to upgrade some software.

As a grammar nut, I couldn't comprehend that one sentence.

maybe idk i mean sri works through my speakers and everything so i really don't know what the issue is anyone else had any issues with their iPhone 4s??

There should be a little icon on the phone next to volume control on the screen on the phone that looks like a little window with an arrow (only shown when music is playing). Make sure its set to "iPhone" rather than whatever else it may show (or visa versa). Accessories plugged in offer the output of the music. This often happens when you plug in the cable.

Besides the USB cable,
Do you have the AUX cable plugged in?

what's with the all lowercase and no punctuation and sentences that end and start with some number of overlapping words it's so difficult to read and try to understand that for my part i just gave up and this guy wants people to help him

First of all, I can barely understand what you are trying to say.
Second, earlier model BMW Bluetooth doesn't support A2DP connection. So you are not able to play music via Bluetooth.
Search Blackberry Bluetooth Gateway for a alternative method.

Depending on the year of your car, you can update your software to support A2DP and you'll have it listed in external devices. When your phone is plugged in, make sure it is set to "dock connector" not iPhone as someone else mentioned.

It really is a simple thing, not sure why you are having trouble.

Does the BB gateway work for the iPhone?
