The only issue is that the e 60 can't have the 6 cd changer. The interface runs on the cd changer menus.
Surely this must only mean that the two cant be run at the same time? Or is someone suggesting that once the IPod interface is installed you cant use the CD Changer at all?
Anyone enlighten us??

Surely it does. As specified in the BMW Dealer bulletin the CD Changer must be removed.

With a decent discount about $275.00. You do the install. I hear it takes about 15 minutes provided theres no CD Changer installed.

I think anyone who pays for this is nuts.
The adapter costs as much as a new iPod itself.
Just get a MosterCable charger with line output. $40

Just a reminder:
As per the bulletin: The interface is compatible with 4th and 5th generation iPods, iPod Mini, and iPod Nano.
The interface is NOT compatible with the 3rd generation iPod or earlier and the iPod shuffle.

I had no 6 cd changer just the pre wire. It was easier than my install of the cell phone eject box.

How much did dealer charge you for the coding?
This coding is different from a total software upgrade which is typically based on service need and covered under warranty.
The install of the hardware is relatively easy.

I have mine at the dealer right now getting the interface installed. I am wounding what the labor will be. Thet said four hours and I said no and pulled out the install direction that says 45 minutes. We'll see.

My Ride: 2005 530i Individual, DVD Package, HUD, Bluetooth, Comfort Seats, SR, etc
so coding wont be required for
vehicles with CD changer existing
but if vehicle does not have Nav unit and is not activated for MP3 will it still work without the Coding?
my vehicle no nav>no Mp3>Cd Changer Have>Single CD have
