Anybody installed ipod feature yet?

[lencal76]

Heard about BMW ipod feature last year. Now on BMWUSA, the installation is available already. Has anybody tried that? How is the price? I have 330 Cic 2003 and my overpaid ipod Mini. Kinda think about it.

I have a friend who did this to his BMW it cost him 150.00 at the dealer.... It is AWESOME!!! he can switch songs (in music file only) and control the volume w/ his Steering wheel contols very cool!!! The sound is outstanding. I have an E36 I have my MP3 player hooked up through the cd changer cable w/ an Alpine cd changer (via blitzsafe adapter). I had to sell the factory changer for this to work but the sound quality by far beats the FM transmitters and cassette adapters!!!

Actually I called my BMW dealer. The part department said that it was too new and everything is back ordered. They requested me to call me in two week. The part quote is $155-165, doesn't include labor though. Will try to finalize it later

How did you say you hooked it up through the cd changer? I have a '95 325, I was dissapointed when i saw the ipod connectors were only for the newer ones. I would love to get rid of the cassette adapter i am using now. I have a factory cd changer in my car but never use it because of my ipod. Thanks!

I will send you pics of what I did and a list of what items I used in the install (for the interface componet Click Here then click on the auxillary icon) really easy install and it looks great, send me an email to: [email protected] and I will email you the pics.

I have a 2000 E46 and had to buy an IceLink connector to use the IPOD. BMW equipment only works on 2002 and latter vehicles.
