Several installs completed in last two days on recent builds by owners have worked fine out of the box. Never saw the dealer. Not sure all will be but never hurts to try. Some dealers may use scare tactics to lure you in for what may be unnecessary coding. Maybe try it forst then go in if it does not work.

I assume this is for the new BMW Ipod interface for that is compatible with most 2002+ BMWs including the 2006 5 series. Is the interface now available at the dealerships - if so, what is the cost?

Thanks in advance.

Just asked my dealer in Spain. They didn't know about it, but checked in the system and... it's there.

Cost in Spain 218,93 euros + taxes.

Maybe someone out there knows the answer to this... If we in the US don't have Logic 7 which in 2004 included the CD changer is there a way to tell if we have " SA 694 CD changer preparation" ?

will this cancel the CD changer?
Also I don know how it will work without coding as the vehicle will look for a new device, and the idrive wont show the new name (ipod or auc etc) until its programmed, so if someone never had a cip update or atleast not recently then dont think it will work like that...

Go to dealer and they might charge only 0.75 hr. It's safer
