My Ride: Currently: (3/1/06) 2002 530i black on black prem, sport, cold, xenon.
Can anyone confirm the actual cost for the part? I'm cool with labor but part being $300+?
I have 2007 550i and they are installing Ipod kit for me to access through my stereo.
Any help appreciated, just seems high.

I bought the part from Gary (Newport) for the following:
65110403651 224.96
SHIPPING 9.00
That was months ago, not sure if that price is still valid.
I installed it myself and paid $100 for activation at dealership

FYI - they don't quote time, I guess since it can take varying amounts of time.

1. Replace CD changer with iPod adapter.
2. Install iPod adapter in a car without CD changer.
Former is much cheaper since iDrive is already programmed for CD changer. Latter is more like $700 since it requires dealer to program iDrive for the CD changer.
