iPod Your BMW

[cakman2]

Check out the new iPod adapter for BMW on bmwusa.com or apple.com. Steering wheel control is integrated. I wish I had waited on how I connect mine. I may have to change it.

[320CDI]

WOW THAT LOOKS GOOD!!!

i RECENTLY BOUGHT AN IRIVER HP 140 - WHICH I AM DELIGHTED WITH - MY BM SHOULD NOW BE EARLY JULY (YIPEE)

I WAS TALKING TO THE DEALER YESTERDAY ASKING IF THERE WAS ANY WAY THAT A JACK CAN BE ADDED TO CONNECT THE PLAYER TO THE CAR - I AM GOING FOR THE SAT NAV (COLOUR SCREEN OPTION) WITH THE CD PLAYER.

HAS ANYONE IN THE UK GOT THEIR DEALER TO DO THIS FOR THEM - THE SALES GUY WAS NOT SURE WHEN I SPOKE TO HIM YESTERDAY.

THANKS

Can anyone who has this explain what they think (could be no-one does yet since I noticed web site said July 12 for installation, but who knows)

sweet... is the adapter for ipod mini too?

[Graphic Designer]

should be the same output for the mini.
i still want an input jack in my glove box. so i can hook up an iPOD>

[cakman2]

I wonder if the iPod charges and that the line is amped. if not I will probably keep my current configuration. Honestly I rarely use the steering controls anyway since the buttons are so stiff and not so easy to reach. However, there is still a certain wow factor. Now, if the track information (artist, song, album) flashed across the head unit I would buy it in a heartbeat.

While we are talking connecting iPOD , is there any way to connect cell phone without going to the dealer. They charge a lot, about $600

[Relevart]

To dado:
Bluetooth device (ULF) for e46 cost about US$500, it takes about an hour to install it so US$600 not that bad. But you have to have E46 manufactured after 03/2002 for bluetooth to work and you have to have bluetooth cellphone.
Mine 325i was made on 11/01. ghead
BTW, Does anybody knows if iPod is Bluetooth capable device?
If so, should it be possible to connect iPod via ULF?

[dado]

Thanks Relevart.
So it's not worth it I will just keep using hand free set.

Thanks

cakman2 -

It does charge the iPod while playing it. Which makes it a nice addition.

[ConnieLynnGus]

How much is installation costing where you live???

Here in the Bay Area, two dealers quoted me about $180 ($40 parts, $140 labor), and one quoted $260. Seems expensive to hook up a damn wire!

Back to the iPod....does anyone know if this is at all possible for pre 2002 models (2001 to be specific)?
