[ssunger]

hey guys, i own 2006 x5 3.0i
my car doesnt have cd changer/mp3 but has navi.
if i buy any cd changers from car audio store, does it gonna fit into my x5? cause bmw one is too expensive.

thanks!

No, it won't. You should be able to get a good used one for under $200. Personally I would skip the CD changer and install an iPod interface adapter.

I really like the Intravee II for doing an iPod kit, so check that one out.

But if you absolutely want a CD Changer I got one for sale!

I am old fashioned and got the BMW CD changer, got it on ebay for 199.00 a few months ago. Easy to install.

Us too...

Love our iPods but for some reason don't end up using them that often in the X and more importantly like the fidelity on the cd's.

Also, if you go with a changer confirm you are getting one of the latest (OEM BMW) ones that reads MP3's. If you're looking for iPod like quantities of music you can burn a CDR of MP3's AND it dispays all the ID3 tags/metadata on the Nav screen. Sweet.

We got ours from a forum member for under $300.

FYI Dice iPod kit for our E46 M3 works like a charm and I enjoy the iPod there...super easy install for either the changer or the Dice they both plug in to the changer connector already in the back of the bimmers.

Good luck!
