save your money! Do it your self or sumthing. What dearer was it? Different dears in the UK charge different labour rates

Also- if you can play MP3 CD's in the in-dash CD-player, then you may not need to have your car programmed.....
This also assumes you already have a CDC..

?800 includes the ipod/usb part as well still think its a bit steep
as for the Dension Gateway 500
i have a CDC, plus normal cd + dvd
dont no about mp3 iv tried to make a few mp3s but they dint work, but this may be down to me not burning them right
would a dealer install the Dension Gateway 500?

That's Dubai BMW dealer prices!!
Install yourself, find an independent BMW mechanic with Autologic or GT+1, have them do the retrofit encoding for you (if it's needed). Save yourself a truck load of money.
