My Ride: Amethest Grey 530i--AC Schnitzer Kit all the way around--Quad Magna Flow Exhaust--20" MMR wheel 4.5 inch lip--

I'm about to buy an IPOD interface for my car (2004 530), I called BMW to make sure my car could be programmed to make this work and they are under the impression that only the AUX input option will work. I guess they don't even sell Ipod interface as an option for a 2004 530i. My build date is 09/03 if that helps answer my question.

DOES ANYONE WITH A 2004 530 HAVE AN IPOD INTERFACE INSTALLED ON THEIR VEHICLE?

I just installed OEM IPod interface last month on bmw 530 2004 (4/03) with business navigation. I did the programing my self and it was straight forward!
Hope this will help.

I have an OEM IPOD adapter and spec dock iphone mounting kit that I took out my 2007 E60 that I will sell to you.
PM me if you want it. I will sell it for 60% of what it will cost you new.

I have a 1/04 build date(no Nav) and i recently had the Ipod installed at the dealer
As long as you have a CD Changer or your Pre-Wired for a CD Changer then you'll have no problem
If your not pre-wired for a Cd Changer then a AUX input is pretty much your only simple option AFAIK
Costed me $510 for Parts,Installation and Reprograming

Dealers and service folks are seriously misinformed and poorly trained. You can get the adaptor...

I have an '04 with no Navi and had mine installed about a year and half ago.
No problems with install or integration.
They had to remove the 6 cd changer in the rear, was hardly ever used so no big loss.
Other then that it was coo.

But have now upgraded and looking to sell it.
If anyone is interested.
