So I was able to track down the distibutor of the BMW AUX cable and order the jack and make my own cables to save members money. I also did a DIY video as well. Please do not make fun of my video lol it was my first one ever and I am going to redo it with someone else holding the camera. There is two parts to the video and the 2nd part is turned 90 degrees and I need to fix that ASAP. The listing for the cable and links to the video is http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-E60-AUX-...6#ht_607wt_922. I will make a better video today or tomorrow.

hey brendinernst very impressive I wish i saw this posting a week ago b4 i ordered the bmw aux kit, I just watched the video its very easy to understand and you kept the install under 20mins. what i like is that you use better quality wires without resistors at a much cheaper price with full video tutorial. Nice job GLWS if some of my friends ask me to install aux for them after I do mine I'll send them to you.

Yes everything is the same but you will notice your car will have 4 screws holding in the CCC instead of 2 because it is bigger. I can understand your frustration with that location. I dont know what BMW was thinking. Back seat passenger controlling audio system? My daughter would love that! lol

First off, the video was very thorough... good job. Second, this might sound stupid but i dont think i have an AUX option on the list of music outputs, would that be something i would have to program? I would love to order a cable from you but i want to be sure its going to work. thanks

Since I already have the AUX input in the rear of the center console, does this replace the existing connection in the rear? So basically this kit will just relocate my existing aux input and require no coding, right? If thats the case can I just purchase this, cut the original AUX cables and solder this inline so I won't have to remove the dash?
