The levels are closely matched too, so I dont have to adjust levels when going from AUX to CD to SAT...they are all evenly balanced.
If I compress the music lower than 256 kbps I can start to hear the difference in my stereo. (NOTE: I have the Premium Sound Package.)

Below is an image of the cable I am using....well worth the $30 as it sounds significantly better than the headphone out.

could you please share the name/maker of the cable. Thank you

Here's a 4ft. cable for $8.99 that plugs into the mini plug in your cars console (07 X5) and the dock connector in your iPod that gives you high quality line level output into your X5. This cable will not charge the iPod.
