Change track using steering buttons from iPhone

Hi all,

I have a 2007 e92 with CCC, it gets annoying having to change my tracks using my iPhone rather than the iDrive system itself. I use the aux cable, but don't have a usb cable otherwise would have used the Y cable.

Is there an inexpensive way to be able to control the music using the controls in the car?

Thanks!

This is a smart watch? I was after something where I can press the track changing buttons on the steering wheels left and right unless the watch can be programmed to work with the car??

You need USB to do what you want to do

And then you might as well put your tunes on a USB
flash stick.

See Makkan00 for an upgrade.

A usb cable won't help without the usb module.

There is no USB on some cars its and option.
On the older setups you need a mulf 2 hi module
on some of the newer pro radios its built in not sure
