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. |
This connection IS UNDER THE SPARE TIRE in the rear of the car!!! It all depends on getting the right cable. I ended up getting the wrong one, but modified it with the BMW I-Pod cables I took out when I just did the Intravee II install. If you have a Nav or non-nav & find a spare connector coming off one of the 2 main cable bundles going into the radio, you need the Aux that plugs right into that connector...if not, you will be doing the steps above where I mentioned! The instructions are very deceiving wen showing the Aux inlet to be installed in the glovebox as that will be impossible with the length of cable you get after tapping into the connector under the spare tire.
