You also said that your installer said the iPod connects into the cd changer input. If thats the case then how can you switch between the CD and the iPod if the iPod is connected where the CD Changer goes. Something is not right. Please provide a complete description of your vehicle. Year, weather you have Navigation system, a cd changer ect ect.

My X5 is a 2005 model 3.0d with no satnav just a single CD with the stacker input option. The iPod connects into the stacker input via a BMW/iPod connection and everything works fine as per instuctions from BMW handbook except for the low gain level I seem to have. I shall investergate the Icelink alternative but since I've already paid for BMW connection I'm push'n it as far as I can. There are a lot of BMW dealers in Melbourne and a lot of iPods, so if this is a common problem someone will have a fix for it. Thanks for all your feed back.
