Hello,

My E60 530 IA 2005 (Production date: Sep 2004) is US import and i just got it few days a go, i love it ... it have:
-CCC 8.8" Pro. nav.
-Bluetooth.
-Sport seats.
-Sport Kit and special sport settings <lowered by BMW>.
-Silver metallic Titanium exterior.
-Gray interior.
-CDC pre-wired.
-Sirius satellite radio.
-Navigation.
-PDC.
-DSC.
-Heated Seats.

but i was depressed of not having some of my required options!!
-MP3 playback.
-CDC.
-Active cruse control.

My only concern for now is to enable the MP3 option so i had to do some research and luckily i found some are telling about the SIB for the MP3 retrofit.
and i did print it out and toke it to local dealer here in the UAE - Dubai for Navigation software update and to add the MP3 play back ability.

The local Dealer (AGMC) by its representative said its a high risk to apply such an update because of the creation of the System ORDER PLAN and there is a possibility to crash the system even if there is no faults in the car control units!!

Also they didnt know what MP3 retrofit needed for E60..!! me 2!!
so if any one can just tell the parts needed and the part numbers please, i think our dealer here didnt face such an customer request and dont know the exact procedure to ably it,which is very bad for BMW customer service reputation!!.

PLEASE HELP..

I think you have a very nice car. The options you dont have, dont worry about those and enjoy the performance of what you have.
