After 4 long days, today I finally got my Aux. Input installed in my car with 15.0 Software. I now have my Ipod working and I'm very happy with the results. It took 3 times of software installation for the Aux to show up in my I-Drive. I'm now officially the first to have it done here in Miami Florida. Thanks to the instruction provided here on this board, I finally got? my dealership to perform the job after trying over and over a bunch of time with no luck. The instructions got the job done!!!

Would you mind posting the part number? I'm taking my car in for service tomorrow, and would like to have this done.

Thanks,

James

I faxed that Kit package documentation to my dealer for install prior to my car being delivered. Hope all goes well and it does not delay my delivery by much.

I'm hoping the same thing. My experience with my dealer (while they are very nice) has been that they aren't really up to speed on the e60...

Good Luck,

I did the same thing...hope things work out well. I guess its been waiting to be downloaded from the boat. Once it hits the dealership, I'm getting a couple of other accersories (floor mat, car cover, etc).

BMWE60, I just to take my other cars to Braman but now they are so snooty..anyway, they have opened a new dealership near my residence. I think is Called BMW of Pemborke Pines. So reading the specs of your car, your car seem the same as mine and can be done great...will be calling my Service advisor to schedule and appointment.

Oh and I have questions for you:
1- can you see the Ipod songs in the Idrive or you need to read it out of the ipod?
2- and if you can seee it in the i drive what can you select (folders, songs or just my playlists?)

Thanks in advance MAN

No. Inside the glove box, or wherever you want.

No, you can't.




The AUX Input is a simple connector. You can only select the Input in idrive and adjust the volume. Just an Input...

Don Juan, If you or anyone else in the Miami area has problems with the Aux. install call Braman's Shop Foreman Paul Miller @305-571-1205 as he can help your shop foreman since he now has one under his belt. All I can say is my Aux install came out awesome and he is a great guy to work with and has lots of BMW knowledge. You just don't find now days people who are dedicated to their field and this guy is A+ in my book.
