CD Changer or iPod

AlecShort · #1 10-17-2006, 04:46 PM

Hi,
I have just bought a 2001 X5 4.4 Sport. Love it! But CD changer in back is getting the "No disc" msg all of the time. So thought about replacing it.

Should I go for :
OEM replacement
Other CD changer eg Sony CDX-T69, Alpine etc
Slam an iPod adaptor in it and bin the CDs

Anyone got advice on this ?

Thanks

01 does not have an AUX connection on the radio for the iPod. There are other solutions, but that is something to think about.

IPOD IPOD IPOD, get the video one if you dont already have one 30gig for 179 referbished from Apple i got one and works like new not a scratch on it, and if you get the icelink with the video feature you can watch videos on the nav screen

This is a no brainer. Dump the CD Changer and go with an iPod interface.

Ipod, no more CD's.

We've got you covered on iPod integration when needed.

AlecShort - definitely the IPOD! I just purchased an '01 3.0i last week and got the iTrip temporarily. After I left the mall, went back around and returned it. When I got home, my brother told me that there was a plug (male to male) below the lighter in the ashtray. So I just bought the appropriate cable from radio shack and it works fine for me!

Hey folks!
Thanks for all the really prompt replies. I think it is the iPod option then. I will have a look around for products that will work with the UK X5 and let you know how it goes.

Thanks again.
