hmmmm went through the pages of this thread and got a quick question.

Can the dealer install an AUX only (I figure it'll be cheaper) or does it have to be the full Ipod integration kit?

May I ask where you purchased it from for such a price? I really really need this, I can't do CD's. My last car had an ipod adapter and I feel so lost now without my 80gb of music!

Do you have an option on your IDrive to increase a power (W or volume) automatically for AUX input?
I had this option on my E46 M3, it gave increase an output power, so I didn?t have to adjust volume knob between FM and AUX all time.

Cheap as chips Cheap as chips

I realise this is the UK site so apologies, but I'd rather pay peanuts and get really good sound than get my pants pulled down over the price of a "proper" aux-in solution from the dealer!!!!!

But hey, don't let me stop you wasting you're money!
