08' M3 iPhone 3GS battery charge

[LudeAtic]

When I first got the vehicle, I had the original iPhone and the charge was working properly as well as playing music. I then upgraded to the 3GS awhile back and havent touched the AUX settings to play my songs as I just listened to the radio.

The other day, I tried to plug in my phone to listen to some music I had on my iPhone, and I noticed that my phone was not even charging. Not only that, there seems to be scratching and static noises when the music is playing. When I move the cord, it gets better / worse here and there. If I leave it in one position where I have to hold it, its fine, but once I let it go to close the arm rest, its starts to get static again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I had similar issue with my 2009 335, the ipod would take a charge but not 3g or 3gs, i up graded to i phone 4 and that seems to be working fine and the battery is taking charge. I had google it before and there was some hard ware compatibilty issues, b/w phone and the ipod connector.
