You probably not searchin' hard enough ... at least this thread = http://forums.5serie...stallation-diy/ ... among many others.

Now keep in mind a lot of variable on this, at least the thread above apply to those that has CD changer, if not you have to break the MOST fiber line bundle before the install (if you CDC prewired, based on the MY you should be) after that you may need the Dealer to do coding enable so your iDrive know there's an additional input source.

GL!

Thank you 'BlaSTiWi', I did come across the thread, you had posted, I was actually looking for original installation manual. I emailed the dealer who sold me the kit and he promptly sent the pdf today.
Yes my car is prewired, do I still have to go to the dealer for coding?

It depends ... do you see CD1-6 in the iDrive menu or just simply CD?

If you just see CD then you likely have to get coding 'cuz your iDrive only know that a single CD source (which is the in-dash) but if you have like the CDC then the iPod interface will automagically work since the operation of the iPod interface uses the CDC system.
