I have a 2004 X3 with assist installed (no Bluetooth, navigation, or ipod) after much deliberation I have decided to install a new alpine deck (iva-d105) with all the fixings (Bluetooth, IPod interface, steering wheel controls, and navigation via the alpine blackbird). I am currently in the process of acquiring all the components to make this happen.

Couple of questions


First anyone know what harness I need so I don’t need to cut the factory wiring, I got a EWH-1010 wiring harness on eBay that doesn’t fit, looks like it should, but sadly it doesn’t.

Second I would like to wire my alpine KCE-300BT Bluetooth module to use the factory microphone already installed. Anybody got a clue, if and how I can accomplish this?


Third I know I can use the PAC SWI-X to retain my steering wheel controls for audio but is there anyway to save the phone buttons on the steering wheel

Thanks for all the help
