First, thanks to Jason, Alex, and everyone else that have answered questions on this thread. It is insightful to say the least.
Now, however, I'm still confused. A lot of the information seems to be for MY13 options?
I have an MY08 E90 w/o Nav but have 639 and 6FL. Cannot BT audio (A2DP?). Per the chart in the first post it would seem I need the Y cable, but it mentions only F30/E92/E93.
Reading the troubles ericgt79 had got my hopes up but Alex' reply created more questions for me...
I guess, long story short, all I want to know is am I supposed to be able to control an iPhone/iPod from the steering wheel and see the track info without Nav/iDrive, or is it just charge and aux only?
I got a cheap cable off eBay that says it should work however it only charges and relays audio to the aux input. It does generate the "Trust this computer?" popup on my iPhone 6 when in the car so tried the "connect it to your computer" test but it wouldn't see the phone there.

Any help would be so much appreciated!!
