Hello Everyone,

I saw in a magazine that BSW (Bavarian Sound Werks) now sells an iPod adaper kit for the E60. Has anyone installed this, or know if this is any different than the adapter that is sold from BMW. I ask because they say in their ad, that you must take your car to BMW to have it installed. Just curious if this is the same or not. Just curious.

I asked their customer service the same questions. BSW told me that their E60 adapter is the OEM BMW adapter. They just resell it along with a spec.doc ash tray insert.

Really expensive through them. Find it through ebay and you'll be much happier with the pricing.

I'm probably still going to get mine from Garry, but I was just curious. From what I was reading, it seemed to be the same, but wasn't 100% sure.

Thanks guys.
