We need some mor info on your car:
- Does it have sat nav? If so, M-ASK (small screen, no maps), or CCC (large split screen, two in-dash cd/dvd)
- Does your in-dash cd plays mp3 cd's
- Do you have a cd-changer

Please check if you have Professional radio and if it plays mp3 cd's. If it plays mp3, an Ipod interface will be possible!

Hi Stilling
If you are how I think you are
, take contact to me ( you know me privat mail + tlf. no. ), an I-Pod instalation should not be a problem in your car at all . either my mechanic in Herning , or our friend on Fyn will be able to perform coding this option for you
Regards from the western part of Denmark

I just had the dealer swap my BMW iPod adapter from my non-nav & no CD changer '04 530 to my nav CD changer equipped '05 545. Both units functioned the same. Full control from iDrive. I don't know why your car would be any different

Yes, you can have your car be fitted with the Ipod. Your dealer has no idea what he's talking about.
I have a 2004 530i. (09/2003 production date).
I don't have Nav, I have the MASK system and I dont have a Multi-CD changer.
It can be done. It might just costs some money.
Good luck my man.

Ok, then you're car needs programming. Check if you have a Professional radio (I believe it's option code 663, but I'm not completely sure). You should be able to have the Ipod interface mounted.
Perhaps you should call another dealer?
