My Ride: 2004 BMW 545i Titanium Silver
Hi, all!
I am looking into putting AUX into my car and that will be done pretty soon by BMW certified mechanic, but he does not have heads to connect to a car and program retrofit (he works for smaller sales/service shop now), so I eventually have to go to BMW dealership and do programming there. I live in Milwaukee area and there are only 2 BMW dealerships in the area and they both want about $500 for coding. I think this is just outrageous especially when I was reading on this great forum about $150 for parts/installation/coding total. So, I am in a very need of place within reasonable driving distance to go and have car programmed (Madison area, Chicago area). Thanks in advance.
Oh, my ride is 2004 545i made in 10/03

I'm in DC so I can't you with a location but I got my aux input and software coding done for $165 a few months back. Call around!
