You expect someone to reply to you, then take a joke dude.

And you realize that you still haven't responded to people's request for photos of the cd changer that you were/are selling...

Yes I have. Check the first post... I put that it was no longer for sale. Sorry.

Also, I was joking in my reply. That's not my dad.

I am also interested in installing the aux input on my 05 (no navigation) ... it seems like below is the aux input I should be getting. Is this an OEM product, or an aftermarket one?


eas - 714.369.8524 | Auxiliary Audio Input - e39/X3/X5 Business CD


Also, looking at the dock connector cable below:

eas - 714.369.8524 | iPod 3.5mm to Dock Connector Cable

Does anyone know if it works with iphone 3g as well? (I don't see why not, but I do have a charger for ipod that doesn't work with iphone 3g, so who knows.) I don't understand this part of the description either... I think it is misleading:

"The dock connector also allows you to control the volume of your iPod through your stereo or computer instead of having to adjust the volume on the iPod."

I am sure you are still controlling the volume of the aux output device (car stereo, home stereo, etc.) and not the volume of the aux input device (iPod).

Quicksilver will become famous soon enoughQuicksilver will become famous soon enough
In the quoted specs the iPhone is "NOT" included
as part of the list of devices that the cable will
work with. Knowing that leads me to believe it
will not work.

That is the OE BMW aux input, not aftermarket. Don't know about the cable working on a iphone. E-mail or call Tom at EAS and ask.

Just understand that the point of those presets, which now work to 'preset' a sound level is so that when you switch the mode from Aux to radio or cd, the sound isn't suddenly extremely lout or extremely soft. Understand?

OK - I'm having a problem. I purchased the cable as listed from EAS. I also have an AUX input in my X5, which I've been using with the headphone out. When I plug the new cable into the aux jack, and then connect the dock connector to my Ipod touch, the sound is played through the ipod touch speakers, and NOT the aux jack. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? The aux jack still works fine with the headphone out cable.
