Help needed with iPod Adapter install

I have acquired components which I'm told are sufficient to complete installation of an official BMW iPod Adapter in my E53. I have one 6511 0395147 cable, one 6511 0411925 cable, and one 6511 0392130 adapter. My E53 is equipped with options SA's 650, 661 and 692. From the research I've done so far, it appears to me that I only need the '925 cable and the '130 adapter, as well as the cable to the iPod from the adapter (I've got 3 of those).
Am I correct?

As always, any and all help is greatly appreciated!

So I don't recall the exact cable part numbers and am out of town traveling. I have installed the OEM iPod adapter and is not necessary to follow the instructions that came with it. It is much simpler than they make it out to be and if you have Sirius, contrary to what the instructions say, you do NOT have to lose support for that. If you have a CD changer then you do have to give that up since the iPod adapter essentially emulates a CD changer. There should be 2 cables with the iPod adapter, both have round connectors with one having the iPod connection on one end and the other having fuse, plug and open pins on the other. All you need to do is properly identify the 5 vehicle connection wires (12v+, GND, audio R+, audio L+ and audio GND) on your iPod interface harness and connect the corresponding wires for your CD changer harness. I wanted my cable in the console so I installed the interface in the rear and purchased from Amazon an extension cable as to extend the round pin to iPod connection cable so that I could route to console. If you choose the console as your desired location, you could either choose to either extend the iPod cable side as I did or make a 5-wire harness to extend the CD changer harness tontje console and install the interface there as well. Hope this helps.
