Hello fellas, I have a 2008 528i with no CD changer in my glovebox however I do see the empty white cage where it should go. I don't see the wires/plug for the CD changer either. Are the plugs/wires hidden somewhere or do I need to get the cables from the dealer and plug them into the back of the radio/display unit?

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.


I will be upgrading to CarPlay but in the meantime would be interested in information. Thank you
