IPOD AUX/USB PLUG IN E70 GLOVEBOX

[cedhead]

Thanks for the picture. I only have the AUX plug and not the USB beside it. The previous owner opted for the 6 CD changer instead of the combined AUX/USB (like in your picture).

Do you need a retrofit kit and can you not just plug in the USB port in the armrest glovebox and change the adaptor from AUX to AUX/USB port? I assume the plug connects right to the back of the head unit?

Thanks in advance.

You can not just change the plug on the end from AUX to AUX/USB. At the very least, you will need the AUX/USB interface and associated cables as shown in this pic below. I assume this is what is included in the retrofit kit.

Option II would be to install an iPod only interface (not AUX/USB) which has a separate module and replaces the CD changer. I believe sits in the glovebox and also comes with specific wiring harness. This is not as versatile and costs just about the same.

I haven't done either of these retrofits, just going by what I was able to find. Maybe someone here has done it?? If I was in your shoes, I would buy the retrofit kit from roveractive on ebay. He's pretty good...

6 months ago I was told no retrofit for the USB option was available. If this changed now, please give me (us) a partnumber, since I am very interested
