you "could" split the wires and have 2 inputs but you couldn't have both devices connected at the same time. besides the fact that you'd run out of space.

Anyway, since I have my iPod interface i could care less about the CD-Changer:D don't miss it 1 bit and will never put it back in. Anyone want to buy a OEM CD-Changer? lol

Absolutely. I have an OEM CD changer available, too! How about splitting the MOST adapter and installing two changers? Just think, twelve CDs...

okay I am not sure if I have the prewire like it states on my invoice :thumbsdown: here are some pics I have the connector/connectors but I am not sure if they are like the pic because I have two.

the one with the two holes are empty shouldn't they have something in it, there are two wires one brown and one brown red.

Now the other is I think green can't remember but it is in a different connector what gives with this crap :thumbsdown:

Yeah you have the pre-wire. The one with the 2 holes is the plug you need but it's empty? that's odd. call BMW and take her in and ask them to explain. i don't understand why you have 2 plugs either.

Okay I have been feverishly searching for answers and I found this pic from another member looks like the one can be spearated into two and I may have a terminator of some sort on it

For a perfect install, check out the 2point5 spec dock at http://www.2point5.com/

Don't know about that. I like that the iPod is hidden away in the glovebox!

I agree that it may be better that the iPod is hidden in the glovebox assuming it is not removed everytime you leave the car. However, with an Iphone, it would be very convenient for quick removal with the added advantages of the phone being charged from the dock together with the normal Bluetooth and iPod functionality via the iDrive.

P.S. Thanks for the great DIY info and pics. These will be really useful when I install the iPod adapter cable and dock.
