I just bought an ipod adaptor from a member. I have the CD changer now in my car. I heard that it is plug and play with the removal of the CD changer but my stealer quote me $322.50 plus tax to install and and to program to the vehicle. My idrive was recently updated.
any feedback....?

one adapts the other... interfaces? I've been wondering about this myself. But I think the diff is the adapter is just the wire basically that connects iPods through AUX IN, while the interface is the module.
