My dealer already told me it's doable- nicke60gre has the kit and his is a 2003 - so no prob. I don't know however if certain options are necessary (like pro nav etc.)
sorry Melv, thought you were referring to the ACM/USB interface. Disregard.

Are we confusing the USB- Audio option and the USB-Video option (used with the ACM). I thought Nick had the latter not the former.

Is someone able to post the PDF installation instructions of this retrofit kit so that I can see what's involved here.

Personally my vote still goes to Dension because it gives me USB audio and iPOD in one unit with no modifications needed.

Certainly if it needs a ULM to power it then the price will work out only slightly cheaper then the gateway 500 and it wont be worth it. But if I can retro fit the USB audio for under ?200 then that is the way I would like to go as I only want to run a memory stick with albums on it. The instructions are printed at the dealer apparently so Im going to ask for a set next week when my car goes in for warranty work.

EDIT: just looked at the price of the gateway 500 and its only ?260 so the USB/Audio will work out nearly twice the price if you have to get the ULM module too.
