Just got mine done in Austria. here is the total expense:
264 EUr for the set 65410415655
190 EUR for labour and coding
There has been a bulletin that says only 45 mins is required to build it in, so I guess the 190 EUR is a bit steep! I guess the additional programming makes it more expensive.
cheers rumman
ps. btw. my car is a pre 03/05 build (02/05) and had cip 20

what kind of radio head unit do you have? Professional or Business? Was your car Mp3 retrofitted or it needed the cip update to do that and also run the adapter?

I just ordered my unit. Will get it shortly. I am going to install the unit in my car without the update to see if it works. However I DO NOT have MP3 capability in my head unit and I dont have NAV . I just have 6CD changer and Single CD in the dash. So not sure if my car will run the ipod connector or not without the sw update. Havent had any sw updates in my car yet.

HI Guys,
My car is now ipod ready and I pick it up in the morning.
I took it in on Monday and expected them to have it all day but got
a call to say that I won't get it until Wed morning. It was actually
ready about 4.30pm Tues (today) but I couldn't get there in time.
I was told it was the s/w upgrade that has 25 different progs to update?
And that a Master Technician was working on it. They also advised me
that the cd changer will no longer work but I knew that from reading on
here anyway. I don't know how much the final cost is yet so I'll report tommorrrow.
Apparently this is the first one they (Vines Gatwick) have installed.

Yes I saw some discussion over on another board about that, I don't think it is supplied and the part number in the bmw instructions might be wrong. The end of this thread talks about what might be the right part number:

Good luck!

The part number for the changer blank is 51.16.7.111.141
