I did try that way, and no such luck. Maybe mine is older, maybe your iDrive is more up to date, I dont know for sure. Its working now, sounds great, I am going tomorow to have my maps updated or something, so we shall see what my bimmer buddy Kevin tells me, but he uses the same thing for his wife's old E70 X also.
