Hi Bec,

I just got myself an E53 3.0d sport, which had the standard Business single CD. Can't see myself swapping CD's out every 30 minutes in this day an age, so I went on the hunt on Google.

I like a factory look, (all the double din apperture covers I've seen look ordinary IMO) so investigated iPod connections. Found an 'iConnect' solution from www.thecarkitcompany.com.au which uses the CD stacker input, and it works really well. I like that I don't lose control over the iPhone/iPod when it's plugged in (my old Alpine H/U locked me out when it was plugged in) so making calls and selecting different songs/playlists is really straight forward!!!

I ponied up for a Parrot CK300 for a blue tooth solution and a Connects2 steering wheel interface, so all the steering wheel buttons work as they should too!!!

Anyway, I thought I'd mention it in case you were interested in other options??

All this assumes you use iPhone/iPod for your MP3's, but either way.......

Cheers, enjoy your new beast,

Phil
