I wanted to have my software updated so I could use MP3 CD's in my in dash player. I have a 2005 545i with Prologic/iDrive but no Navigation. I sent an email to my SA with this SIB attached.

This was his response

Talked to our Diagnostic tech. Your car does not have a CCC which is the computer it needs to install this software. Looked up your car through the BMW site and made sure. There is the possibility of upgrading your radio system, I haven?t looked up pricing but rough estimate is between 2000 and 2500 dollars.
Is this really my only option? I'd like to eventually install the MOST ipod adapter and figured if they updated the software I could buy the adapter and install it myself.

install the MOST ipod adapter yourself and then ask them to do the coding for the ipod adapter. that will work fine.

I sent him another email asking the price for just the coding. It's odd as I read many say you can only access 500 songs from the ipod, but I had the dealership say you can access the entire library. Maybe I should get that in writing before hand?
