Although I have the OEM iPod connector in the car by replacing the CD Changer. I find the need to add a USB even more pressing.
This way it gives me the opportunity to purchase any phone and have it playback music and use Blue Tooth for phone calls.

What do I need to do to get USB installed with the existing 545 non Nav setup?

Thanks

You have the exact same build as I do: 2004 545i, early build.

I have the really cool & expensive answer for you: CIC & Combox mod. Thats probably way more than you are looking for, but I started with your question & ended up here.

Click the link in my sig for a lot of detail on that option.

If you just want USB integration for audio Im not aware of how to do just that...

Thanks Maddog and excellent work on your CIC upgrade!!!
I don't think I can spend the money or justify the costs associated. Looks like I will have to keep it the way it is and upgrade my phone to iPhone 5 which is not a bad choice.
Thanks!

Another route I took is using Dension ... it's been done for a long time so try do an extensive search and you shall find out ... it gives me iPod plug, RCA AUX input and USB.

GL!
