That's what I think too, you can always clean the house yourself and get some satisfaction but you don't get any satisfaction driving anything else but a Bimmer well not that the 450 helps in anyway <_<

Haha.... that's a good piece of advice you got here (too late for me though).

Anyway, i got a question regarding the AUX input. I asked my dealer about this and he told me it has never been done before in HK for 5 series (which i found unbelieveable). Has any of you or your friends done that? My wife loves the ipod but she doesn't want the car to be a tester.

Cheers

Thanks man,

This would be one of the option. However, i probably will get the Kensington one as they get a good review in ilounge.com.

I think sliu_uu got the "monster" one, but he said the quality is even worse than a Radio, as there are too many FM interference on the road in HK.......... the funny thing is it works perfectly indoor, haaa~~ :thumbsdown:

and he seems already ask BMW a few times about this, may be you can contact him for more info~

Those FM transmitter doesn't work well at all in HK as there are too many overlapping of station. For example I can listen to CR2 from 90.3 to 92.1 talk about broad band. I brought one of those FM transmitter and only use it in Canada so far.
