I went to the BMW center and they could not add the AUX port b/c of the production date, so I asked them to add the iPod adapter. Apparently, that won't work because I have Premium sound, but not DSP.

Being new to BMWs, I am having a hard time figuring out the connections. In the rear access area there seems to be a 25-pin connection and several fiber connections.

I am trying to figure out of the ICElink or the PhatBox are options for me, but can't get clear answers out of either since I am not exactly sure myself what I have.

Anyone have any clue what exactly I have and what I can or can't do? I would also like to add Bluetooth, but that looks like it's impossible to get it integrated.
I'm confused also. This is a 2005 X5 correct?? Blue tooth comes with premium package I thought.

Premium Package
* Power adjustable rear seatbacks
* Power 2-way panorama moonroof
* Automatic tilt-down of right outside mirror for visibility of curb when backing up; includes "puddle" lights
* Automatic-dimming rear-view mirrors. Includes both inside and outside mirrors. Inside mirror includes compass with digital read-out.
* 8-function on-board computer
* BMW Assist is a Global Positioning System and wireless communication system for Automatic Collision Notification, Emergency Request, enhanced Roadside Assistance, and Concierge Services. Bluetooth® wireless technology is standard with the BMW Assist option. For more information on BMW Assist, click here
