I tried removing those two pins and then inserting the wires from the aux input, but the radio wouldn't turn on when I did this. Any ideas? Instead of having just two wires in the black 12-pin harness, I have four. I have no clue what to do.
mdeep1, did you end up getting aux input to work? I had the same problem, found the input referred to in this thread, i.e. into business cd. I have installed and put back together. Pressed mode with ipod connected but no AUX mode showing?? (I have business CD, no nav, no DSP - 2004 facelift). Anyone else welcome to help too (please)...

More info: Attached is the BMW instructions that show the positions of the wires in the connector. They refer to a blue/white, a white/brown and a white/yellow from the new aux input. Unfortunately, the aux input has blue/white, brown/white and red/white. I matched the colours, i.e blue/white(actual aux in) to white/blue in diagram, etc and put the red/white onto where the instructions showed yellow/white.
