iPod USB Interface for iDrive

Ewing · 11-30-2007, 05:35 PM

I am assuming someone else's lease from swapalease.com for an 07 328i that has the iDrive. I don't think he has the iPod interface option on it. Is this something I can get installed after the fact at the dealer once I get the car? Is this all I need to buy?:

C'mon, has'nt anyone installed this after the fact? The dealer is telling me "oh there is a whole kit that includes some module and the kit and install costs $800" yet on http://accessories.bmwusa.com/ItemVi...&productId=748 the "kit" costs just $319.95!!!!!! So my guess it really is just the cable and I can get it done at some good quality BMW shop. Anyone else done this?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that looks like the plug that would go between the Ipod and the jack (the part that you are looking for) in the car. You also may get more help over in the electronics section. Most guys in the ordering forum don't have their cars yet. I would reccomend against that ebay cable, though.
