Mine is a 2002 non-nav DSP and I am running the headphone jack w/ aux function, I believe it is wired right to the back of the head unit.

Wow, thats great edparks, I have the same setup as you, 2002 non-nav with DSP, I've researched this to death. After reading several threads on the subject it seems the 2003 and earlier models don't have the AUX mode in their firmware. I bought the BMW AUX input cable but couldn't get it to work, one possible work around is to buy a build date 2004 or newer Business CD player that will have the necessary firmware installed. Did you install your cable or is it possible the previous owner did the aforementioned upgrade for you?

The previous owner did. I will reach out and see how he did it.
