Here's some pics of the install. I think they are pretty self explanatory except that the CD-Changer screws don't come out. They just loosen and then permits you to pull the unit out. I fixed the iPod interface with the supplied cable ties. No drilling no nothing. Plug n Play.
PM me if you want the BMW service bulletin that will permit you to get the mp3 retrofit done for free, which enables you to play MP3 CD's or use the iPod interface. Or if you want the official BMW ipod interface installation instructions.

Looks great, congrats, what is the part number for the interface and can you e-mail me the Bulletin (even though my car is out of warranty for 3 months now!)
Thanks

I wonder if there is a way to extend the cable to exit from the drivers right hand council (the box)? So it will be easier to have access to the phone each time I get inn and out of the car??? What do you guys think?

I was thinking the SAME thing. but, i came to the conclusion that i will just buy an iPod (have come down in price soo much) that i'll leave in the glovebox and keep my iPhone in the center console in case i need to reply to txt's while driving lol
Yeah I just put my old 60gig Ipod Photo in the car. Its easier.
As for alot of people asking, I will post up the info for the cover.
Part number is:
51 16 7 114 806: Insert, cover
Cost is $9.96

Looks great! Thanks for the pix and step by step! PM sent...
As far as the SB, perhaps go ahead and post it here as i'm sure you're going to get hit a lot for it anyway...
