I purchased a 2007 550i a few months ago. I just recently tried the CD changer and loaded all slots. But the computer does not detect it. Before i waste my time by going to the dealer, can any of you guys tell me what i'm doing wrong?

It may have been installed, after delivery, by the previous owner but every accessory must be recognized by the s/w ... likely will require a dealer visit to ensure there are no s/w issues. If it's original equipment there should be no charge in warranty period. Is the car still in warranty??

Same thing happened to me. Book an appointment with your local BMW dealership and they should fix it for free. Get the MP3 compatibility done as well.
