Try running a special cleaning disc through it first. If that doesn't work then it sounds like the focussing servo is dying and that is a take it out and get it repaired job...

BMW only offered a connection via a cable that went into the headphone socket and the other end fitted the Aux port on the head unit. It gave no control over the device itself at all.
There were aftermarket systems that connected in and allowed much better control, but whether they are still available I don't know. There was no factory USB capability.
