i did this on my x.
Unfortunately, this option is not available for X5's built before 10/2002 (or pay $585 for the upgrade). Otherwise, I would have definitely installed the OEM AUX (as stated in the beginning of the original post). I just wanted to share this option as it works well for me. It also only took me about 45 minutes from start to finish and cost $5.

I would think you could get it to work. Not sure since I have never worked with a 4:3 unit...
