E53 X5 Snap-In Adapters - Full List
 

Have anyone seen this document before? According to the information you can install an iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and several Motorola, Blackberry and Sony Ericsson phones into an E53 X5 as long as you also install the eject box frame p/n 84-21-2-153-098 (Retail $99.65) and adapter cable p/n 84 10 9 205 271 (Retail $10.20). Have anyone done this?

Very interesting.

I have bluetooth already, so I am curious what this would do for me.

1. Charges your phone
2. Boosts the signal strength using the car's antenna
3. Since the phone operates via the car's external antenna, it enables the phone to decrease the output power which reduces electromagnetic exposure.

I'm thinking that with some modification this would be a great way to mount the DICE kit, maybe even still retain the antenna.

Completely off topic from the point of my post.

Thank you X5 Meister.Extremely useful information..Thanks for sharing:)

With one of these would it get around the problem of BT not working? In other words, with these do you not need to connect to the car using BT?

How is that off topic? It is a great idea and relates directly to the availability of the snap-in dock :dunno:

My post asked a question. You chimed in with something completely unrelated. Had someone responded with an answer then the post would have been useful, however now it is filling with worthless banter.

No.

:thumbup:Happy to post. Hopefully someone will chime in with some real world experience on the install.

Whatever you say :thumbup:

what is the deal with eject box mentioned at the very bottom of the document? do we have another eject box from the factory and we need to replace it for models marked with an "*"?

Huh? What do you mean "another eject box" ? I am trying to locate someone who has installed a setup in a E53 from that parts list. So far zero luck.

if you look closely to the document you have published at the beginning of the topic, there is a note at the bottom with a different part number eject box.

this is what I consider "another eject box" ;)

The document gives part numbers for adapters, not eject boxes. At the bottom it is saying that for certain adapters you will need a specific eject box.
