Changing the Stereo
Im interested in changing out the factory stereo so that I can have a USB port and other features my 2008 does not current offer. I cant seem to find solid information on what stereos would fit the vehicle. Is this going to be something I can only replace with a BMW stereo? or can use a "after market" product.
Any experience out there?

Ugh, that is discouraging. I did buy a USB adapter for the cig lighter but that only charged my phone. What is the "homespot nfc" you mentioned? How does that work?

I think I will give the $30 homespot a try before dropping $650 on a retrofit. I appreciate the feedback though. Always nice to know where to find additional parts, etc...
