Aux in to my basic X5

[katit]

I have 2003 with simple stereo - just CD, no navigation.

How do I install Aux In? Which one to get? I found one article here but it was for car with Navigation

Thanks!

Does your 'basic' radio have a mode button?

[katit]

Yes, on very right on lighted display

Then what you'll need to do is remove the head unit and the aux cable plugs in to either the back of the head unit or there will be an extra "port" on the wiring harness where you will plug it in.

How to Remove Radio / Display / CD Player / Navigation from 2004 BMW X5 for Repair - YouTube

here is how to remove the radio.

Hey, once you get that radio (MID) out, look see if there is a way to remove it if the torx headed screw is gone. I can't get mine out because the screw is missing and I don't know how to trigger the release mechanism without the screw. A picture of what it all looks like would be great. Thanks.

has anyone ever tried installing a 2005 x5 radio into a x5 2002?

If you buy a used 2004-up manufactured radio I believe it still won't work for some reason. Do a search for AUX cable and you will find a ton of data on this subject.
