I just bought my son a2002x5 with nab and changer and would like to know how to add either an input plug or lume tooth. Previous owner had a cassette with a microphone for Bluetooth but said it didn't work well because the connector was behind the nav


Suggestions are welcome. Thanks

There is an OE BMW aux retrofit kit. You'll have to pull out your head unit and see if there is an empty wiring connector in your radios harness (not on the back of the head unit). There is a kit for nav equipped vehicles and non nav vehicles, make sure you get the right one.

What's the price on of those?

[Joshdub]

About $30.

Saw this thing on amazon called Avantek Bluetooth. You plug it in your 12 volt, blue tooth or wire your phone to it and it transmits to your fm receiver. Anyone ever try any of these?


Best thing about it , if it works is you do not have to remove your head unit

Sounds like the old FM iPod adapters. They suck.

Here's a complete DIY guide to installing the kit. The navigation version will vary very slightly. It sounds like your radio may be too old, you need a radio with date of 10/2002 or newer.

I just installed this in to my 03 non-nav.
HS Bluetooth USB Flash Drive Music Hands Free Car Adapter Interface for BMW Sale | eBay
Works pretty well, could be better but for under $100 and to have aux usb and Bluetooth I am happy.

I had just the AUX (ebay <$10) but it did not work my phone if it was charging, kind of strange.

someone help please
I took out the head unit there is no wire in there looked everyplace for it
