Nono, I am not referring to the AUX IN. Its the Original BMW interface for Apple iPod.
"You can now enjoy the flexibility of your iPod even at the wheel of your BMW. A direct connection to the audio system gives you access to all of your stored tracks. At the same time, your iPod remains safe in the glove box. Using the BMW Radio, the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel or the iDrive Controller, you can operate your iPod easily and safely. The result is optimum sounds all around."

Anyway, I heard you've gotta sacrifice the 6 disc changer? Does this apply only to new car option or retrofit also?
Like I said before; nothing beats playing the CD. Furthermore, our cars can play MP3 recorded CDs. Just food for thought.

I have to choose either a full iPod interface or keep the changer and save some money. Furthermore I still need to buy an iPod as I have never believed in MP3 quality. But many told me lossless compression is almost as good as the original, barring the quality of the iPod vs the changer, and this is what I wanna to verify. Can we play MP3 using stock system? Anyway I am just having some itch that needed to be scratched
4th Feb GTG sounds good. Got time got place and I will be there.

Well Zag, thats the perils of buying a product with no local representative. Would you consider going to BVO and do a remap? I heard Bernard had written e60 softwares himself and dyno charts proved the increase in horses and torque.
Anyway this Sunday GTG is at 4.30PM. Wanna go? Anyone else?

I can play MP3 in my single CD slot. However, my system is the professional and not business.

Budi, I have an I-pod. Believe me; you wouldn't wanna replace your changer with that thing. The playback is nothing compared to CD.
