tom i ordered the fog light hid kit also. i was just joking about the discount. how long does it usually take for you guys to ship item out? i payed for my items early this morning, any shot they will be shipped today?

If in stock, most orders ship same day.

tom i sent you a PM

i just got finished installing the AUX input on my X. took me about 20mins. its super easy and a really nice mod.

Congrats and a few questions..
 

Congrats on your install..

Couple of question if you dont mind..
A) Do you have Nav..?
B) Which kit did you buy ie, the EAS kit or the OEM kit or something else
C) What did you use for a guide..?
D) Year of your X5?

Thanks
Ed in NJ

hey ed thanks heres the info you wanted:

A) yes i do have navi
B) i purchased the kit the Tom suggested from EAS(look at post #5), they have both kits with and without Navi, the harness is right there behind the Unit it clips right in.
C) i check out post number 24 in the STEREO section on the home page, Installing the AUX Input on an X5 - X5world

D) my X5 is a 2006 3.0i without DSP and it has Navi.

i actually used my key and my fingers to pop off the trim around the Navi. it comes right off. start at the bottom and work you way around, it will pop right off. its really simple, on my X the top screws are in the coner not in the middle like in the picture, i guess they changed it, and its T10 screws. and run the wires up from the glove compartment first dont clip it in and try running it down its harder that way. you can just grab it with your other hand if you push it up throught the glove compartment. sliding it down it will just go where ever it wants to go. and when you make the holes for the faceplace screws make very little holes and force the screws in so its nice and tight and wont come loose. good luck let me know if you need any more info.

:thumbup:

The EAS kit is the OE BMW kit.

Good to know since I have 2 gift certificates worth $50 each at my local BMW dealer. If the price is close, I'd rather use one of them than my hard earned cash.

Thank you
ED

Thank you for the detailed information.. I am always a chicken $h^t when it comes to electrical stuff, but you've given me some confidence.
