I have ditched the CD changer and installed an IPOD in it's place with Dension ICE LINK.
You get loads of other IPOD connection kits for less money than a CD will be. And the sound is MUCH better! Just find an old IPOD on Ebay with a broken screen. Depending on what BMW headunit you have you don't need to "see" the IPOD at all and can control it from the CD changer buttons. ------------- E61 520d, slow and buzzy but my wallet likes the mpg..... |

Nice idea UweM3, like the thinking about broken screen. I have a business head unit, in a 1996 build e39, think i wil go down the road you suggest regards, dave clennell

I think your Radio will NOT display any IPOD information. Mine doesn't. All you can do is to create 5 playlists and select them with the CD changer buttons. In each playlist you can skip forward or back to the next song. Make sure you buy a proper IPOD controller and not just an "AUX-in" kit which isn't going to control the IPOD from the radio. Do you have a multifunction steering wheel? this is what you want http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-Dension-Ipod-Dock-Ice-Link-/140529372074?pt=UK_AudioVideoElectronics_PortableAudio_MP3PlayerCarKits&hash=item20b8340baa - ICE LINK ------------- E61 520d, slow and buzzy but my wallet likes the mpg..... |
