What is involved in installing a cd changer?
Hey Guys,
I would like to install a BMW cd changer in my 06 BMW X5, but im not really sure what is involved. My vehicle currently has a cd player. If I were to install a cd changer, would that disable the one in front? Also, I was browsing around the forums and I found that in some cases, the X5s are usually prewired for a cd changer, but I couldnt find the plug in the back - which leads me to think its not prewired  How hard is it to install a cd changer? Any good writeups out there?

Very easy to install. Just plug in the existing connectors that are in the left rear electronics bay and then bolt the unit into the existing rack that is there to accommodate it. The existing CD player will continue to function, you will just have another "Mode" to cycle to.

I checked out the How-To. Thanks for pointing that out, I never saw that page before.
Ive looked in the left compartment where the cd changer should go, but there arent really any free floating cabled with plugs on the end of it...the everything is plugged in to something. If its not too much trouble, could someone post of picture of what the plug looks like?

If the cable has not be used then the cable is kinda buried among other cables wrapped up with black friction tape that looks permanant. It took me a while to find it as well.

Just throwing this out there...... A iPod or any mp3 play can hold thousands of CD's. It is prolly cheaper and easier to get a iPod and get the cable and plug it in to your headunit.
