No, I was looking for the connector that Jochen described. I don't want to pull out the CD changer every time. I didn't see the ibus wire because the light was weak and the yellow and gray weren't obvious.

Does anyone know if you can use the plugs that run to the phone cradles inside the cabin? I have bluetooth on my E46, and i removed that cradle. I noticed there was a similar plug to the one on the CD changer but it doesn't seem to work =(

My car doesn't have satnav either. I found a similar plug behing my CD changer in the trunk which also doesn't work... urgh!

I`m also wanted to know where i can find ibus signal on a car that doesn`t have NAV/CDC/PHONE.

Al the car`s i have use my ibus interface on had nav, so that was easy.
But would like to know where i can tap into the ibus signal easy on a car without NAV/CDC/PHONE.

Assuming you have an X5:

The ibus goes to
On-board monitor
Video module
CD changer
Radio
MID
Navigation computer
Steering wheel
PDC control unit
Telephone control unit
Light control module

And if your car has ibus connected to kbus it also goes to

Air suspension control unit
RDS control unit
Beam throw adjustment control unit
Switching centre
Independent aux heating
Seat / steering memory
Immobiliser
Airbag diagnostic module
Heating and AC controls
General module

But almost every car has the CDC wiring fitted, so even if you have no CDC, you should still be able to connect to the CDC cable.

There is no ibus on the phone cradle.

You could tap onto the wires on the light switching centre (LSZ), which is directly behind the main light switch.
