best ipod connection
 
Hi im looking for quality sound, I have a 2006 X5 4.4i w/nav and 6 cd changer. I bought a casette player adaptor but quality is horrible and nothing like my old Ipod your Bmw. What should i do, its a lease but i want to connect my Ipod.
i also posted in stereo but not as many people.

IceLink Plus. For everything you'll need, check with Tom G. at http://www.europeanautosource.com

You want non-evasive installation - I got the Denison IceLink and had BSW install it - I doubt that's what you want on a lease - best info I can give is to google ipod car installs, then take that knowledge down to your local mod shop and see what they say - hope you find a suitable solution - hopefully someone will kick in their setup

BTW - the BSW install w/speakers,sub-woofer,&amp gives fantastic sound

You definitely need the ice>Link Plus! Feel free to contact me with any apecific questions you might have on the kits. :thumbup:

I believe your radio supports the optional Aux input. You could install the Aux input pretty inexpensively and easily. You would not have the integrated control, but the sound would be perfect.

Not only would you not have integrated control, you would be missing out on the charging and text display functions as well.

I have the BMW Ipod link, why wouldn't you want it on a lease? It's not changing anything on the sav.

it doesn't work with navigation on X5s, i dont know? I want something simple, the lease is 3 years I want something i can put in then uninstall it at the end. Does anyone know how much the aux input is, and how much is the install?
I really wanted to have steering wheel controls, but it sounds like alot of work and will it void the warranty on the audio system

This is not true, BMW cannot void your factory warranty from installation of the ice>Link Plus. One of the main selling points is that the ice>Link does not require splicing - it's simply a plug and play connection.
