Dear friends
My E61 are prewired for installation of the CD changer and turns up on the idrive.
When I looked in the glove box I found the connector but it only included the +/- 12v and not the optical connections.
Anyone having knowledge on where in the glove box to find the optical connectors (or an installation instruction)?
All the best from a snowy Sweden

Please search around in this forum. After installation, your car needs to be coded at the dealer for your car to recognize the CD changer in i-Drive

I'm not sure the topic of optical connectors as it relates to the CD changer has been discussed before on the forum. Nisse...this may not help much but I recall my dealer telling me that retrofitting the CD changer is not as easy as it was in previous 5 series. It might be dealer BS but they mentioned the dash has to be removed. I'm wondering if that means the optical cable is not pre-run and perhaps this has to be done whilst the dash is removed
