My Ride: 2005 545i Ti Silver, Sport Package, Premium Sound
Previous BMWs: 2004 745i. 2000 M5, 2000 X5, 1995 525 Touring
Thanks to everyone for the info -- I have to leave my 545 at the dealer's this week so they can finish detailing it (it was raining the day I picked it up and has been every day since!) so I'll see if they can add the Aux input while they have it.

I just talked to my local dealer Concord BMW, and they said that I could in fact add the AUX in the glove but would not have steering wheel control due to NAV and 6 disc. Is this true? BTW the quoted me $75 for parts and 1 1/2 hours labor.

Thanks for the clarification, that is exactly what the dealer is doing getting confussed. You would think being a BMW dealer they would know this kind of stuff. But I guess us customers are the experts.

What about the pricing issue, would you say that is right in line?

I'm getting mine installed this week. The part is $64 (after 10% BMWCCA discount) and the install should take around an hour per the TSB.
