Um, I don't think the 6FL option (iPod/US
can be retrofitted by the dealer. If not, get the iPod adapter that goes in the glove box. I had it in my old 545 and it works well with the iDrive...

I don't think the 6FL can be retrofitted into an earlier car.
The "panel" inside the console is the cooling duct. They simply removed the cooling duct for 6FL cars...
kscarrol's advice is probably the best to follow.

I just had the IPOD adapter installed in my 2006 530 and I have a question the manual doesn't cover. When the car gets turned off does the IPOD aiutomatically power down or does it continue to draw power?
Thanks in advance for your help.

It powers down. I have a dedicated iPod for the car and it just stayed in the glove box. It will not drain the battery as the car cuts power on shut-down...
