Iphone 6s adapter for 2013 X35d?

Hi. Just picked up my new-to-me X35d today, and the phone interface cable is missing. I'm looking for a cable that will let me charge my phone and connect to the multimedia system. I'd prefer something that terminates in a Lightning connector at the phone. My car has the ports in the center console to connect the phone.

I've seen several BMW options, as well as less expensive (MUCH less expensive) knockoffs.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

I was about to buy the iPhone/iPod cable to integrate with iDrive but honestly after downloading the music to the hard drive, there's really no point unless you want to use Pandora or any of those other apps.

This.

Via BT i can make and take calls and my contacts sync. I play music via Pandora no problem too.

Plugged in, it charges. I could use the BMW app but it sucks and gained me nothing in terms of usability. note its a low power port, not a 2A current port for past charging.

Ergo, plugging in gains you nothing!

Thanks. I confirmed that I have full functionality (album art, playlist selection, etc...) using a lightning cable.
