Dumb question from a newbie

This is probably a stupid question, but I've looked in the handbook and it doesn't answer my question.

We've got a 2012 Mini Roadster JCW and I plugged my iPod Classic in to the USB port. The radio recognises it, shows the track details (even the album cover) and the ipod screen shows the Mini logo. But it doesn't actually play it.

So, do I have to buy the proper Mini/iPod lead or use an 3.5mm/3.5mm aux lead as well, or as my iPod is newer than the Mini is it a system "fault"?

OK, I've tried it with the ipod/usb lead and a 3.5/3.5mm aux lead and it works. Thanks for the advice.

But it seems dumb that it doesn't work with just the usb lead when that's all that is needed with both my Alfa and Renault, one daughter's DS3 and the other daughter's Polo.....
