I Followed everyone's advice and got the Aux install kit. My dealer told me if I get the part, he will install it.

I bring the car in this morning and the dealer tells me that since the part is not approved in the USA, he will only install it if I sign a disclaimer taking full responsibility if anyhting gets fried because of the install.




I am a really pissed!!!!

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Dealer just called. Said BMW approves the install. Monday they will do the install and software update. They will charge me about $220 for the labor.

We shall see.

Just picked up my car from Rallye in Long Island, NY. They installed it and it works great. Cost me $220 for labor + $70 for the part.

Now I don't know what to listen to, SAT or my IPOD?

Tough decisions.

Congratulations on your install. Make sure you update the list of dealers that will do the aux install to help others out.
