Hello Guys,

I have been researching a lot, and still not sure which one is the best way to go. I have a 2006, 530i, with mp3, CDC and bluetooth, and without Navi. I am looking to get something in.

I was going OEM route, but someone said mObridge is the way to go. Then, someone suggested Dension .

What is the difference in terms of functionality/ price? I am only interested in iPod, and maybe USB and Aux (not necessary)... and hoping to code myself (ordered the wire, have to learn it yet ).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I've been on the fence with this issue myself.

You can source a used Denison for about what a new OEM iPod kit will cost you and get more functions and expansion. The GW supports USB and has add-ons for video playback - the OEM iPod kit doesn't. Plus it fits other car makes/models it's easier to resell.
