iPod not recognized

I recently purchased a 2009 135i. No idrive. It is my understanding that it came with the iPod integration (option?). Anyway, the included documentation indicates that the USB port under the armrest came from the factory.

I have tried plugging in both my older 4th gen ipod (I think it's 4gen, it was the first one with video capability), and my iPhone 3g. I have used both the white apple iPod connector and a brand-new 'aftermarket' connector. Both of them gave me the same result. The device, itself, regognizes the power source and goes into the "connected to something" mode. But, when I go to the stereo, and try to select the iPod option, it acts like nothing is connected.

Of the other posts I've seen, nothing really seems to match my exact situation. I just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts or suggestions.
