Folks

I’ve just bought a 2012 BMW 316d F30 with idrive. My idrive doesn’t have the sat nav.

I tried using a bog standard usb cable and plugging my iPhone 12 in to try and access and play my playlists but the car isn’t seeing my phone.

Can someone tell me can I even play from my iPhone on this car please, will it see my play lists and allow me to control via the idrive or is mine not capable?

Do I need a Y cable perhaps?

Some pics for reference.

Thanks
