sound works from the gps speaker not through the idrive radio i only use the pegasus box for gps so you would need to have a oem bmw aux kit fitted or aftermaret kit but this may need coding,
all i wanted was the display as the gps box provides the sound

you can have more than one input into the pegasus box and a reversing camera but for good sound will need a proper aux input

have a look at this thread and associated threads

Simon Try going to the interface menu > FM-TX

Set to use FM-TX and then frequency.

You can now set the OEM Radio to receive what you put through interface. ( you may have to unwind the blue cable on the loom as it works like an FM aerial.)

Still advise using an Aux retrofit if possible but you might find it useful for further inputs

okay so exactly its similar to the acm box or others... if u want to play dvds and want sound u need an aux input.. we need a solution for sound without the aux or an aux without exp. programming!

Rudeja has found out that the connections where the BMW OEM Aux input go are active when the Radio Mute is active. Ofcourse this is only for people who do not have the OEM Aux set-up.

So now you don't have to get the expensive AUX wire or the programming from BMW. All you need is a simple female mini-plug or RCA connectors and connect them to the back of the CCC/MASK.

On the plug X13813 connect :
- Right +ve to PIN 7
- Left +ve to PIN 2
- Groun -ve to PIN 8

Then connect a simple switch that will Ground Pin 10 of the X13812 - This will mute the Radio and allow you new Aux to pass to the Stereo.

Also by doing this yourself you don't need to modify the BMW OEM cables to remove the Resistors and Capacitors that most people have cut out, you simply don't connect them. Just use straight wires connected via some Tyco contacts.

I don't know the exact part numbers for the Tyco contacts but they should be pretty standard. Don't quote me on this but part no 61130005197 should do just fine - it also comes with a bit of wire attached to it too.
