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...

Yes. It must be removed. I guess you could always sell it...
I'm still not sold on the whole idea. I think we're going to look back on this as an interim fix. I'd much rather see a universal A2DP bluetooth tranceiver with a modular power adapter or inverter install. Hardwire the audio from the brick, and give the brick a bluetooth 2.0 radio and flash firmware support for the necessary audio profiles. Then any bluetooth A2DP device now or in the future can connect. The control stuff should be possible too.
Basically something like this thing:

...only with an optical connector and perhaps some control passing capability. Hrmmm - maybe one that has an iPod connector? That might be cool - then you could just plug it into the factory iPod MOST adapter.... Hrmmmm.

you can determine if you have the pre-wiring for the cd changer by looking on your window sticker (if you still have it) under the "Comfort and Convenience Features". It will have ""Pre-wiring for BMW 6-disc CD changer and mobile telephone" if so equipped. Unfortunately from what I have read you will loose sat radio with this retrofit. Does anyone else have personal experience with this?

I would assume that coding will not be needed if you already have a cd changer and only swap it with the ipod interface. (Menus in the demo-video show that options are not reworkrd showing "by artist" for example, but CD1)
If you have pre-wiring (my case) but not cd changer, i guess you're right, you need to code to have the i-drive showing the new options. In fact, the document attached in this thread clearly states that coding is needed.
Dealer told me they will receive mine in +one week. I'll let you know...

So far three for three DIY required no coding for the individuals that already had a 6CDC. IDrive thinks it is looking at same device.
You do NOT lose Sat Radio nor anything else other than 6CDC (if u had it in first place).
I will not do this as I have non iPod devices that require Aux In so that's what I have and also retain my 6CDC.

I'm a bit confused...
I've seen the install instructions at the top of this thread and the brochure in this another thread http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=24556&st=90
I emailed one BMW dealer for a price and the p/n in the install instrustoins, 65 41 0 415 655, is supposedly only valid in Europe according to BMW.
Now the E60 p/n from the brochure, 65 11 0 403 651, is valid in the US.
Corbadav, you mentioned that several folks have alreayd done installs. Have they done them with 65 11 0 403 651 using the install instructions you provided which reference p/n 65 41 0 415 655?
Thanks,
Tom

So to try to clear things up it would be great if you could find out the following details from the three people who were able to get their DIY to work without needing a re-coding:
1. Production Date of car.
2. Latest CIP version installed on car.
3. Is MP3 functionality enabled on car.
4. Is the car a US model or not?
5. Does the car have Logic7?
It would be a great help if you can get the three with successfull DIY's without coding to provide the above info.
