My Ride: '06 530xi Jet Black
I just got an Auxiliary input cable installed into my glovebox (2006 530xi) yesterday at my dealer. They claim they tested it and it work;however, whenever I plug my iPod in all I get is static. Searched the forum and couldn't find any workable options (Headlight fault,...). Is there a fuse or something that possibly blew? I really don't want to take it to my dealer since it is 45 minutes away and totally out of my way (aka pain in the to go to) and I have been there twice in the past 3 weeks..

Do you have another source to test? Try something that has a real "line out." Old, old, portable CD players still had a stereo line out. If they did indeed hook it up correctly there should not be any static or noise. I completed my AUX install my self so I can easily say that there really isn't any way to screw it up unless they used the wrong pin locations.
