ok i finished it today, coding took 2 minutes after i figured out how to use everything, and the Aux-in cable install took about half an hour. very easy
came out real good.
I ended up installing the belkin Belkin Bluetooth Car Hands-Free Kit
CarAudio Connect AUX with Bluetooth® | BT Music Receiver | Audio | Entertainment | Products | Belkin USA Site
left the aux cable inside and used power under the dashboard where you feet goes.
I am very happy with the install, both musics sounds awsome and handsfree works great.

So your phone connects with BMW Bluetooth or Belkin to make phone call?
I want to use BMW BT to make phone call and use the Belkin to stream music via Aux in.

Just wondering whether the BT connection can be separated:
Phone call - BMW BT
A2DP - Belkin

With NCS Expert just go to CAPPL -> "AUX_CONFIG -> "not_mounted" change to "mounted" and always change the VO for accessoriea retrofit!
There is a lot thread about aux, if you try to search.

Fiscon is really great product if you don't want to play games with aux and Belkin BT receiver.

If you are asking about aux in, here is my answer.
The quality is same as audio cd, can not complain. Does not occurred noise or bad quality.
The loudness is a bit quiet what I expected. Even if you turn volume to the car and your ipod/mp3 player to the maximum you wount lose your hearing. Really the aux in is not as loud as my cars own cd player or fm radio.
But no worry there is of course headphone preamp if you want to achieve the same volume as my car cd player.

Edit: Headphones Amplifier or This 12VDC can hide to glove box. Of Course there are a lot more headphones amp. products.
