I think this is only for the after market install .. the 6FL IPOD/USB factory install does not mean your cd changer is no longer usable..

Thanks. Could you please elaborate on how the cradle attaches inside the console compartment? It's not obvious on my X5 how that would work. I understand how the snap-in adapter goes into the cradle but not how the cradle attaches to the inside of the console compartment. I appreciate your help.

Great detail shots. Could you also send some of the inside of the console without the snap-in adapter in place as well as a couple of shots from a foot or two away?

I guarantee there are PLENTY of people on this board who are interested in this since none of the US BMW dealers seems to know anything about it (and why should they, it's not like the car is made in the USA or anything).

Last point, wouldn't it be amazing if there was someone on this board who actually worked on the assembly line (like a final quality check person) of the X5 ?!?!

Here 2 others pictures :
This part comes with the car if you take the BMW Buetooth system in Europe :

Here the screws which attach the cradle inside the console (electrical connection are not visible:

Here the list about all existing snap-in adapters with their part numbers :

The cable is supposed to be supplied by the dealer at no cost beyond the cost of the 6FL option. Our dealer didn't have any in stock when we took delivery of our X5 but got us one within 5 days after delivery.

The iPod cable for the 6FL option is included with the option (which has a price of $400 U.S.) but is supplied to the customer by the dealer. My dealer didn't have any when I took delivery but got me one within three days.
