2004 BMW AUX Input?

BMW installs an AUX input in the glovebox as an accessory...won't that just work? I'm planning on doing that with my BMW X5 soon...

04 BMWs are PRE-WIRED for an AUX input in the glovebox. The AUX input isn't pre-installed in the glovebox (at least it wasn't in my 330Ci). I had the dealer install it before I picked up the car. Look in your accessories catalog--it should be in there. I believe the the part costs about $30 + labor cost to have it installed. This is the simplest way to hook up the iPod in your car. There are other, more complicated ways, but this is the simplest. Also, be sure to raise the level of your AUX input, otherwise the volume coming out of the iPod will be too soft. To do this, simply hit the musical note button on the head unit until you get AUX LEVEL 0, then simply max it out at the "3" setting and leave your iPod volume fairly high as well.
