I am looking in to installing an iPod interface in our '2004 X5 [ build date December '03 ].
Can this be accomplished with any means?. I will happy if I can simply be able to install an AUX connector to get an iPod input in to the system as has been installed in later models as compared to a full fledge iPod interface - which of course will be ideal way to go.

Any thoughts as who/ where I should go in Baltimore area - In the meantime, I have placed a call to my SA at local BMW dealership and also waiting for her reply.

Thanks

I dont think anything like the Dension or BMW integration will work bc X5's dont have idrive - right?

So something like this would work :
