Hello gang,

Looking through another forum I came across an interesting document
that may be a way around to have an aux. output.

The pdf document looks like an official BMW intern instruction how to
effectuate the job -

This could be a good gate to put the Ipod (or else) the only restriction
is that I couldnt see anything to feed the ipod with electricity , but I may
be wrong there

Andr?

Rudy,
Would you please search for this document in English. I can read German, but I don't understand it

I cannot read languages with characters such as Chinese, Arabic, etc. Only languages with Latin characters.
Sorry for hijacking jokes. B2B:
Anyone can pull the above doc from TIS (English version).
There are thousands of E60 owners waiting for this
Thanks in advance.

Aavand9, great find!!! I already sent the PDF to my dealer asking them for a price quotation. As soon as I know something more I'll let you all know.

Gang

I already submit the pdf file to Rudy yesterday, we will see the outcome
I guess Iceman or any other german speaking could help
I understand in substance the text but it would be hard for me to explain it
accurately but the drawing are enough selfspeaking right

I read it and can tell you the following:
It is an AUX input. It is to be installed in the glove compartment (kind of stupid) where a US spec car has the torch light!!! When installed you can select AUX in your entertainment menu.
I don't know if you can install it in a different place, but I think it is possible... Not sure though... The cable doesn't seem to be very long... Anyways, it is an AUX input, 3.5mm jack... It doesn't say Stereo, but I'm pretty sure it is Stereo...

This looks like a do-it-yourself type job too! Nice find! Do you figure the part number is - 65 12 0 153 502 ??

Inclusion of an AUX IN is consistent with what my dealer told me 6 weeks ago when I ordered my '05 545. I asked this Q specifically because of my interest in figuring out how to use my IPOD. He had checked with BMWNA to get this answer. This PDF doc seems to add details to the expectations that had been set for me.

The part number is correct BUT !!! this IS NOT a DIY job, since there is programming needed to make the AUX appear in the entertainment menu...
