[CraigR53]

are you using a genuine bmw Y lead?

I assume so, I just got the car three days ago, what are the signs it's a genuine Y lead?

[badwolf340]

2 different cables (genuine) depending if you have standard or visual boost

Is your phone a 4 or 4S?

[Eddie_JCW]

My 4S did something like that but it was the dock connector (had problems charging in the house and syncing with PC) try a genuine Apple USB cable and see if it charges then.

As Eddie mentiones, use your original Apple lead and only connect to the USB port to check the charging function
