Hi guys,

just a few questions - I got a new ride, I think a nice new ride...

Can you help me please:

Is there any chance to change the angel eyes into a xenon looking white - LCI version!!!

The car has an aux. access - the dealer said to me, that I can connect an I Pod, but I will not be able to operate the I Pod with the i-.drive. Is it right, that there have to be an USB access to operate an I Pod with the i-drive, or do you know any other options.

Thanks for your help!

The dealer is correct on the Aux Input. You can have the BMW iPod adapter added in the glove box and that will allow you to control the iPod thru the iDrive. There are also some third party options as well...

Angel eyes? Do a search, as I recall there are various bulb options to get a whiter light out of the angel eyes...

Tell me more about the third party options...

I know, that there are many topics to AE's, but most of it are to Pre LCI cars - where can I find something for LCI??

The kit for iPod interface from BMW should be around $300.

There is an aftermarket company called mObridge that sells iPod and bluetooth add of kits that integrate fully with iDrive.
