iPhone 3G plug in adapter help

I have a 2009 750. It came with the smartphone integration and added the iphone 3g plug in adapter.
I did pair the bluetooth without problems

When I put my iphone into the adapter it charges but get message that this accessory does not work with the iphone. The car does not recognize any music on the iphone.

However, if I plug the USB cable into the center console for a few seconds and then unplug it, the iphone is recognized by the car in the CD/Multimedia section and I can play songs through the stereo system. Have to do this everytime I turn the car on and have pulled the phone out of the cradle.

Anyone have the same experience?

Any explanations....

Yes, that is by design. You can ignore the accessory does not work message. It will go away.

The snap-in is not intended to play music and cannot do so. It only charges the phone and enhances the signal using the cars antenna.

I have a seperate iPod attached using the cable to play music that stays in the car at all times.

I have the same message which goes away too.

My iPhone does play music when in the snap-in.

There are two different iPhone cradles. One will only charge, and not play any music. The other does both. There have been several X5M owners over at www.xoutpost.com that have had this issue with getting the wrong adapter. I have the smartphone option in my X5M, and my cradle does both.
