members have done this retrofit. There are a few options out there to do it, run a search using the upper right tool bar, perhaps "ipod retrofit", you will find more than enough info on this subject. GL

Aux Input is cheaper but does not give you iDrive integration like the iPod adapter does. Just an FYI if that's important to you. I had it done on my 545 and loved it. Installed cost was right at $500 including labor and tax. Depending on the software version your car is running, you may be able to buy the part and install it yourself. Keep in mind that it replaces the 6-disc changer in the glove box. If you don't have the 6-disc changer, it can still be done but the cost will be a bit higher for the install...
