I just threw my old ipod in the center console with the Y cable and ended up using the extension cable to charge my phone at home, iphone cables are really short too. It charges fine also.

I believe that the functionality varies across model year. I've read that the 2011 and newer cars don't even need the BMW Y cable - you are supposed to be able to use the Apple white cable in the new cars.
Apple changed the charging functionality between 2007 and now so YMMV
