The AUX Input can be installed on all E60's.
Your SA is full of [oooppsss] ...
Tell him to order the part and to install it.

I am getting mine installed as we speak. Leith BMW had never heard of the part or the document. They looked it up on Centernet and it was not there. They were rather surprised I produced the document. They analyzed it heavily and came to the conclusion that BMWNA does not support the install even though it can be done and they will do it. he said that europeans get all of the cool toys and the american cars get the shaft!! he said the electrical systems are overloaded in the US and a lot of the options that europeans get, we cant get because of the amount of options already overloading the electrical system. What BS!!!

Now before I get mad.... :bashwall:? :bashwall:? :bashwall:
After the Bluetooth Fiasco, and having to end up with a CPT9000, I thought to myself that having them add a AUX input would be a no brianer.? I reminded my dealer to order the part for my service appt tomorrow...
I emailed him the service bulliten, and he just called me to say:
I am looking this up based on your VIN, and don't think this is a possible addition for your specific car.? WHAT THE F#$#?????? How can this be?? Do I get ANYTHING that the other e60 owners get?? I have a March 04 production...? He wants to know who I talked to that said this it's possible for my baby.
Anyone hear this before?? Should I call BMWNA and ask them?

Yes - This is not a USA optional part. Dealers in the US cannot order the part nor have it listed.
My dealer is unwilling to help me order it from, say Canada, and install it. They say it is not FCC approved and therefore illegal in the USA at this time.
Ugh! I would LOVE that input.

Ordered mine from BMWPARTSGUY and had it installed at East Bay BMW in Pleasanton, CA. No one gave me any hassle, and it cost me $149, even tough it took 3 hours to install. Your dealer is yanking your chain.
