as a follow up question, dealer says that the AUX input will allow me to see title songs and control mp3 player via Idrive. I am a bit suspicious as he did not say that he would be adding any special hardware beyond the cable. BTW, I am planning to use it with a Blackberry Bold. Can someone confirm?
this is i-pod specific. i have no clue about the blackberry. the adapter i have is ipod specific. the general AUX input will not allow you to use the i-drive to control your MP3s. you will have to manually control your device, unless this is some USB device i am not familiar with

Dropped off car for inspection today and asked about addition of AUX input to 530xi (2006), no CDC, No Nav. Dealer here in Ottawa quoted me $550 (3 1/2 h of labor and 120 for hardware). Seems pricey to me...not sure if this includes some reprogramming of iDrive. What are you guys paying?
Uhh, yer gettin hosed! BMW dealer I bought the car from was $62 for the part and one hour labor.
