Yes but remember you need both the ACM unit (the latest one) and the USB unit.

Sounds like a ripoff.

You should check out ebay, they have some decent deals.
I found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-Genuine...emZ190252121700
For the ACM unit.

I have the 6FL ipod option, do i still need to buy a separate usb unit or the 6FL option will work? Also, are you referring to the 2009 ACM unit as the latest one? Do you have part numbers for both units?
Please advise. Thanks!

ACM : 65 50 0 441 372
USB: 65 50 0 433 281
iPod Video on the ACM depends on the type of connection you are using now. If you have the BMW OEM kit then the solution is slightly different as opposed to the Dension. Also it depends on which iPOD you have because the latest Classic and latter have the Video blocked and you need an Apple cable to unlock the video-out.
USB: 65 50 0 433 281

The BMW OEM kit is different from 6FL isn't it? I thought 6FL was the factory option and the BMW kit was the retrofit. Anyway if you have Classic iPOD then you need to get a cable from Apple and that will allow you to unlock the TV out. That cable will then need to go into the ACM AV Input via a modified cable. Simple...
This is only reason when my wife wanted an iPOD I looked (and looked) until I found an old 80GB 5G in stock somewhere. That was the last iPOD made where the TV out was still unlocked. Apple now have become like BMW where you must buy their cable only to get this to work.

I didnt think the ACM was available in the US so if anyone has done it they have had to have the ACM shipped to them from the EU. I know my530i has done it and so have a few others - but dont know about location.
ACM has not been available in the UK too.
