Aux Inputs

Can the AUX inouts be retrofitted to an 01 X5 with DSP and Nav?
Thanks guys!

not without changing your tuner.

if you upgrade your tuner, your new tuner will have aux inputs....

In addition to acquiring a radio module from a 2003 or newer, you would also need a conversion harness that adapts your round pin connections to the newer style flat pin connections found on the newer generation radio modules. See http://www.bimmerboard.com/forums/posts/52117 for info on the conversion harness.

I did this on my 2001 X5 and have AUX input capabilities.

Thaxs 4 all the prompt responses man!!
The site is under maintenance so I can't check it yet and sice you've done already, how difficult is it for a DIY, how much money. My dilemma is if I should go with iaudio X5 (Y i wanna an AUX input) or go with an Ipod and get an icelink.
Sorry 4 all the questions

Figure on about $100 +/- for the adaptor harnesses, and around $300 to $400 for a 2003 radio module (more if you can't find one used).

The DIY isn't too bad as long as you can deal with tracing wires and doing some minor splicing.
