I had the dealer install the aux input when the car arrived..... after receiving the car at home, I tested it out and it doesn't work...
the aux shows up in the idrive, and the input jack is in the glove box..... but no audio comes out with aux selected and when connecting up the ipod.....
I made an appointment to get it fixed, but they can't get me in for a week.... since it's in idrive, I assume it's programmed ok, but maybe the plug wasn't put in the right slot?
Is this an easy mod that I can check myself? any special tools needed?
for any insight....

That PDF file here:
Although it is only two wires probably reversed, there are more than 2 wires in bundle so could be a little challenge

I see now.... you are taking the cables out of the provided plug, and putting them into an existing plug.... there are 3 wires, left audio, right audio and ground....
does anyone know the proper installtion, wires to plug positions? and updated PDF?

[/quote]Yes, high. As FiskeGTS said, $75 for parts - labor has varied across the reports from low of ~ $90 to high of over $200, but average is closer to ~$100. I paid $300 total for Aux P&L plus phone cradle which was $130 so $170 for Aux P&L.
