Speaking specifically to this, the proper Y cable will translate accessory commands between the car and phone for things like track listing, skip forward/back, playlists, and so on. This is all necessary for the tune2air to work properly, because the tune2air basically fully impersonates an iPhone, as far as the car is concerned.

The Y cable you have is the functional equivalent of plugging the phone in via a lighting>USB cord and then also a headphone>aux jack cord (only gets you charging in this car, and shitty, practically nonexistent charging at that).
