CD changer / Mp3 player / iphone
Hello everyone, i am new to this forum, i just bought my first bmw x5 2 days ago, and i love it! Its a 2006 3.0 black on black with navi. The car has an iphone wire sticking out of the glove box, when i connect it and try to play music, it works but the driver door speaker doesn't work. When the radio is on all speakers work fine. Any idea why that might be?
My main question is: which CD changer or mp3 player should i get? My car doesn't have any CD changer so i can't play any cds. I was wondering what should i get and whats my best option? Or maybe should i just get a new/other iphone/ipod connector or w.e its called..
I owned 4 audis in the past, and ive had the phatbox is 2 of them, which was very convenient because i could just take the cartridge home and burn the music i want. My last audi had a navi with SD cards so that was even easier.
I don't have the premium sound system, how hard is it to install the premium sound?
Thank you in advance!

Hi, congrats to your new X.
Where do you connect your iPhone?

To the dock connector or to the one where your headphones are normally in?

Regards, Helmuth

The connector on the iPhone is a stereo connector. It feeds left and right through the base on it's own pin set. I have duplicated the same effect of only having one speaker output by not seating the connector well when I plug it in to the ipod adapter. Look at the connector for foreign objects, lint, whatever and also make sure it plugs in evenly and seats well on both sides. It sounds like something you don't even have to fix by replacing, just find the culprit and make the adjustment.

Is your Silverline a trunk interface or radio?

Will the DICE unit work on non-ipod products like a Droid X?
