I have the CDC in my glove box but don't have a magazine cartridge.
If I purchased the magazine would my car automatically recognize the CDC or would I still have to some kind of programming at the dealer?

If the CDC itself is in there, then the car should already be programmed for it.
The previous owner probably just lost the cartridge (I don't know how, I never take mine out of the car - LOL).
There could have been an iPod interface in there that the PO removed to trade it in.. If you can play MP3's in your in-dash CD player, then just get the iPod adapter kit. It's $270 from your local parts dept if you are a BMWCCA member. 15 minute install, no programming req'd (if you can play MP3s).

Yeah I never thought of that.
However I tried MP3 Cd's and does not work. Hmmm...I wonder where that cartridge went your right previous owner must have lost it.

There are PLENTY of guys on here that have already done the iPod upgrade. If you want the CDC and not the iPod, post a WTB in the classifieds. I'm sure someone would sell you their old cartridge on the cheap.
