Hi,
Im getting my E60 later today and tought someone her could help me answer som questions regarding software coding/updates etc. My car is a 2004 without navi and 1 slot cd player in the dash (wich I guess cant play mp3s cds). But I have the cd-changer in the glovebox. With this setup, what coding/updates do I need to get the OEM iPod Interface to work?

Is this a genuine BMW Part ? As the box shows the BMW logo so does the sticker on the unit ?
What about warranty, will it invalidate warranties on cars still under warranty if it's not a genuine BMW part
Finally, anyone successfully got the MP3 softrware upgraded in the UK for free with the bulletin? if now how much did it cost ?

Use an MP3 CD in the main slot, it will show a list of the tracks and show you the car is mp3 enabled else not recognise the disc.

Looks like 'Autobullbdirect' are out of stock. Anywhere else stocking these ?
For any in the UK, did you need to use the bulleting to get the software upgrade. Was the US bulletin accepted ?
