It's exactly the same as BMW iPod adapter. Why would I pay $290 for the one w/o BMW warranty? Whereas, BMW iPod adapter is for $250 or less

Hi

so you are saying its the same as BMW use, but with their badging on it instead? That will do for me! Bear in mind that in the UK its likely gonna be priced at pounds = dollars anyway, so paying 30 dollars or so more than the 250 mentioned isnt too painful if the UK beemer price is likely to be more like 450!


If anyone has fitted it themselves, did it need BMW to make any changes to the Idrive programming..... I expect it will need something - if so i will try and get it as a freebie before the car is delivered!



cheers
