and they in turn would go back to dealer to "straighten" them out and they would get their aux input and everyone would be happy. ALWAYS believe advice here as opposed to the dealers. As my SA has said more than once, you guys know far more about these cars than we do.

right now. Regardless of which BMW sound system you select, you'll be on your own interfacing an MP3 player to it, since the new 530i offers neither the famous BMW integrated iPod adapter nor the more pedestrian auxiliary input jack.

Just to add to this: Regardless of which BMW sound system you select, you'll be on your own interfacing an MP3 player to it, since the new 530i, offers neither the famous BMW integrated iPod adapter nor the more pedestrian auxiliary input jack. What does the future hold? Who Knows?

All e60's can have the aux input fitted and I believe this is being introduced as standard for new models (not sure when this starts).

My Ride: Due May 2006:
530d SE Touring, Automatic, Titanium Grey, beige leather comfort seats, light poplar wood trim, sports steering wheel, graduated tinted windscreen, panoramic sunroof, pro radio, logic 7, 6CD, visibility pack, storage compartment pack, adv aircon
Hi all
First post here.
Finally I've found the best E60/1 forum.
Ordered my 530d Touring last week.
Waiting is really going to be hard.
Just spoke to my dealer who confirmed that mine will come with AUX as standard and that it does work alongside the 6-stacker.
I am still hanging in there for a true iPod controller though - come on Dension.....
But the Aux is always going to be handy for other non Pody things
regards
Nick
(530d Touring, Titanium Grey, beige leather, pro radio, logic 7, visibility pack, comfort seats, adv aircon) - soon, but not soon enough !!

My Ride: 2005 525i M Sport. Black - Just love it !
Guys - check this out: http://ipodyourbmw.com/
This looks like the perfect solution as the ipod is fully controlled by the i-drive wheel. You even get the track listings etc up on the i-drive screen !
Trouble is, even though the video on this link shows the guy demonstrating the whole thing on i-drive, when you dig a little deeper, it seems that it is not yet available on the E60 5 Series ??!!! It MUST be available soon - the damn video shows it working !!!
I'm in the UK and would love to hear from anyone who knows if and when this final solution will be released for the E60. Thanks...
