there is a much easier way,
i did this:
ToysInYourCar.com - Intravee II - iPod Audio Integration for BMW vehicles
the intravee sends commands to various computers in the car, ae as drl is an option in the setup menu
then i got these bulbs:
WeissLicht LED Halo Upgrade Kit For E53 - BMW X5 SAV - 2000-2006 From bimmian.com
they work great

that sounds interesting... how does ipod integration unit has an ability to turn AEs into DRLs while none of the other computer software units (GT1, NCS, Autologic, etc) are able to accomplish this
That sounds too good to be true...
What model/year did you install this on?

the unit sends data messages on the communication buss. in the setup and does more than just drl, it has the ability to do much, much more.i also get a screen with distance to each sensor when my pdc is active.

I can't believe that I am going to have to go buy that box to run my AE's as DRLs because, I can't figure out how to code it with NCS Expert. Ugh. I would love for someone to figure out how the Intravee does it.

I could go that route but, I just to want to cut any wiring or splice anything. As easy a job as it is, I just can't cut in to my X.

As for Intravee. I'm checking them out.

you don't have to cut any wires. Go to napa and buy a posi-tap connector, it taps into wiring cleanly, unlike using T-taps.

Posi-Tap- No Crimp Tap

The only connectors I'll ever use for tapping, and joining wires together from now on. Wonderful connectors (buy them from Web Bike World)

I've used them before. They are wonderful! This intravee box looks really promising though.
