I paid about £150 for the kit and i fitted it myself, otherwise the dealer wanted around £40 to fit. They updated the software for me for £80 to enable the kit. Having the Ipod in the car is definately worth it, i can access my entire collection through the iDrive.

2006 525d msport pro nav 6 cd changer and slot for extra cd
i asked the dealer and he said that he never came across this case of allowing mp3 files to be played, and he ALSO SAID that some of you guys on e60 forum know better than himself !
so, he said he will update the software but he can't guarantee that it will allow that mp3 playing

OK here it is... this should tell the dealer how to do it... look at attachment SI B65 30 05
The other two are for reference. Take this to the dealer and ask them again... they should be able to give you a definite answer now... I think these are for North American cars but I cant imagine they're THAT different...
