You would probably need consent if it were something that was for sale. I don't know how BMW feels about this for a group. I did the BMW hook-up which works very well. If I had it to do over I would go icelink just to have the titles. Other than titles I am very happy and it was really pretty simple to do. The hardest part was removing the glove box which I think is not necessary. I just have the 20 gig and after putting all my cds on still have plenty of room. It's great having all your music and not having to have youe cds with you. It's also great having all my music on my laptop.
