Thanks a mil!

CD Changer yes, but not the in-dash CD Player. This is still retained.

is there any way you can have both icelink and the cd changer ???

Thanks but how do you go about to upgrading the firmware? Do you connect the icelink to a PC? I thought the icelink was just a bunch of cables???

Any iPod with a dock connector can be used. Also, the iPod is not "married" to the BMW so anyone's iPod can be used.

Honestly, once you get used to the ice>Link - the CD Changer ends up on eBay. ;)

Simple stuff - Your iPod is used as a "programmer" when a specific firmware is released.
