Hi all,

I recently bought a 2011 328i xDrive Sports Wagon and am new to owning a BMW so apologies if my enquiry is naive.
I have gone over multiple forums but they seem more based around retrofitting whereas I'm just trying to understand what I actually have

I have successfully paired my phone over bluetooth and made calls and for the most part everything works as it should, except...... the car gives me a "device not supported" error when trying to play music from my iPhone X via the USB input in my center console.
Figured the software needs updating but that "Software Update" option is missing from my menu!

So the question is; what are my options here?
Do I need to go to the dealer to get it updated (I have no idea what version CIC I am running) or is it not even an option, do I have to get an aftermarket one (from Bimmer-Tech for example)?
I really want to play music off my phone (bluetooth isn't necessary) and do software updates myself.

The TFU unit I have has the code 84109231090 and the date 05.06.2010
Here are the related options I have that I found on mDecoder

S620 Voice Control
S6FL USB/Audio Interface
S6AA BMW Teleservices
S645 BMW US Radio
S609 Navigation System Professional
S639 Preparation F Mobile Phone Cpl. USA/CDN
S6UH Traffic Information
S6AB Control, Teleservices
S655 Satellite Tuner
S615 Extended BMW Online Information
S697 Area-Code 1 for DVD

The Navigation system version doesn't seem to have been updated (still has the North American Premium 2010) but I intend to do that.

Any information is appreciated and thanks in advance!

Better try the idrive subforum.
Most of us don't have a combox and the later models
of idrive are a mystery.
I don't have a Nav. Rev numbers of the Nav firmware are
sometimes discussed on the coding and idrive sub forums.
