Can the 2004 BMW E60 be programmed for MP3 playback? Not sure of the Build date. My local BMW Dealer said he's pretty sure the 04's cannot be done.

Thanks!

if you have nav, yes it can (tell your dealer to go to the retrofit section of progman and select MP3. Most of them confuse it with aux or ipod). if you don't have nav, not sure.

I have a document somewhere that states that all e60s from start of production can have the MP3 retrofit. This wasn't the case for quite a while. I'll try to dig it out later.

Phi,

I know of some members on here who've had their 04 MY ugraded, so as long as you have Nav (which I know you do

) you should be good to go!

Check out this thread when you have time

Plus here's the service bulletin you need, as you can see is say "SOP" that means start of production.

If Advantage BMW wont do it for you try Momentum BMW, as I know a couple of folks who work there.
