It seems to me that BMW is hosing the AUX input install. There's so many options, Harman Kardon, D.I.C.E. and others. Can I install this myself WITHOUT BMW programming? Do I REALLY need the programming? Thanks.

From what I've read on this forum, apparently activation by dealer is always needed for Aux input. I haven't seen any plug and play.

they need to reprogram the software to make it work.
BMWHK will not install it for me they say I need to but it when I get a new car not afterward. :thumbsdown:
+ it also cost a arm and a leg for just a AUX so I just left it.
