If you keep the iPod in the trunk (I guess you would call it the boot) the installation will take about 5 minutes. I have it that way in my X5 and it is not a problem at all. I thought one day I would run the wire to the front but just haven't found it necessary. I mean, hey, when it was a CD changer I was in the trunk all the time swapping out the CDs anyway. Cheers.
