Guys, I have done a little bit of research in this and other forums. I am interested in installing some sort of Ipod interface in a 20005 545i. What I am after is the pros and cons of the solution BMW has and the Dension. Any insight would be appreciated.

With the Dension you can also use a usb stick. A lot easier to drag and drop music to the usb stick.

Hi There!!! As a complete newbie take what i say with a pinch of salt!!! HOWEVER, am also looking to add i-pod/mp3/USB compatability to my '05 530d M SPORT. Have looked into at great depth and the DENSION seems by far the better option as dvd can also be added with ease whereas with BMW OEM system options are more limited. Am even considering fitting it myself as seems easy. But then as a newbie what do i know?!?!?!?!?! Lol.

+1 for the Dension ...
AFAIK mObridge does not have USB port to hookup thumb drive or HDD ... at least when I did my research before I went w Dension couple years ago ...
