Are you looking at the correct 3-pin adapter? The brown wire should be in the #1 position, not in the middle of the connector. Also, check the fuses in the glovebox fuse panel to be sure they haven't blown.

I just noticed that b/c the X3 did not come with a CD Changer the #42 fuse was missing which could be my problem. Ill have to put this fuse on and try it. Tom would you know which of the 3 wires coming from the BMW side should have 12V ? is it the red ? b/c even with the fuse on i couldnt get power on any of the 3 wires with the ignition on position 2.

12V should be from the red wire in the middle position, on the BMW side (3-pin connector).

Ok now im actually getting power !!! when i click on the MODE now i actually get RADIO > CD > IPOD ( CD CHANGER ) which is what i was not getting before but now my problem is that i dont get any sound when in CD CHANGER mode , i only get sound with my single CD and radio only. Any ideas ?

On the first boot after installation, sometimes the nano doesn't unlock the audio from the dock port. Try rebooting the iPod by pressing the MENU and CENTER buttons for 5+ seconds and reconnecting to the ice>Link when the reboot process is completed.

I just tried that with no luck....any other ideas, and its not the unit bc i tried another also. Could it be b/c of the firmware level or ipod firmware level ?

Thanks Tom

It could be that your X3 has Digital Sound Processing and requires the DSP adapter. Did you see a small coaxial cable next to the 3-pin and 6-pin connectors?

Or more than likely, the incorrect 12-pin harness is conencted to the radio on SA-693 vehicles.

Try removing the head unit and swapping the connector to see if your audio is restored.

Cool let me give this a try and ill post back here after im done.

Thank you very much once again Tom

Tom , i have not removed my head unit yet but as a question if in case this X3 does have DSP by locating the #2 12 pin adapter can i just keep that second 12 pin connector connected to the head unit if that solves the no audio issue? or is it a must to purchase the DSP unit for the icelink ?
I just dont think i really have DSP on this b/c there is not DSP button on the radio like the picture below or does the button not necessarily mean i have it or not ?

Thanks
