My Ride: 2008 550i Space Gray
just picked up car...had aux input installed while car was in for windshield replacement....tried it with my rio karma 20GB mp3 player....VERY IMPRESSED with sound quality from the unit...they did a basic install where the input "plug-in" is in the dash.....so the driver's cupholder works PERFECT as the holder/holster for the mp3 player...it even angles in my direction and even with the smaller screen i can still read the song title....it was somewhat a bummer not having the "info" displayed in the i-drive screen but within about 10 minutes i had gotten used to glancing at the mp3 player....and with the ability to have that much music at my fingertips it was a small price to pay ......this should at least hold me over until the cd player will play mp3's later this year...
one final note....i am actually glad that i don't (yet) have the ipod.....the white would really stick out in the interior as well as all the white cables etc.....the rio blends well.....!!

Thanks! I havent found a pic yet, but still looking, I just dont know what the "Standard" install is. I saw one that was in the center armrest, I liked that, but that is clearly not where yours is.

I thought that the "standard" install place for the E60 was in the glovebox near where the flashlight (torch) is.
