i got $450 to put the Ipod interface instead of the CDC in the glove box and program the car ( retrofit it ) NOT for the adaptor I have it
is this price Ok or kind of high I am in South Cali if any body kniows cheaper dealer or an advice can u tell me THX

 

I paid 450 for the adapter with installation so it sounds like your getting screwed. Many people claim that if you have the CDC now, the iPod adapter is just plug and play. No coding required.

 

where did u do it !!!! So i got ripped off !!!!

 

I bought it and had it installed by the dealer which cost me $800 here in Toronto, but that also included coding. So yes it has to be coded, now if your CDC can play MP3's then I understand that there is no coding for MP3 required.Not sure if the device itself needs to be coded to function.

Mine only had the CDC with no MP3 capabilities or anything. I am really happy with my iPod interface though.

 

Coding is required or not depends upon your car's software level. If you car can play MP3 from front cd dash then its simple plug and play with very minimal coding.

I would suggest to use Dension gateway if you have CCC, its easy diy, its much better quality and supports music play from USB too.

 

The dealer. Cain BMW. The iPod interface was listed on BMWs website with price for parts and installation. Called the dealer and they did it. On my 545 I put it in myself and took about 15 minutes total including taking out my CDC.

 

Sounds like the standard charge. I was quoted ~800 for unit, install, and coding.

 

I think there are some members here that do the coding for you as well.

 

if any body here in the forum can do the programing of my e60 OEM interface please text me 562-3108718

 

iPod interface for 2005 and later 5 Series runs about $320.


Provide your VIN to the BMW Center when requesting a quote or purchasing.
