When I installed the AUX on my wife's Mini I did not pull the fuses or uninstall the battery. Do you think it would be a mistake not to do either on the X5?

Thanks
No problem!

I'm not a car electronics expert but I don't see the need to pull the radio fuse or disconnect the battery. In fact, that could cause you to have to enter your radio code to get it working. All I did was pull the Business CD, plug in the BMW AUX cable, and run it from behind the dash to the driver's footwell where I wanted it to be more accessible to me for my XM unit that is placed in the ashtray.

You can get the BMW AUX cable from places like ECS Tuning or your favorite BMW parts specialist. Price is about $35.
