'04 X3 with Nav...curious what you guys have found to be a simple effective way to connect an ipod. Thanks!

Aux In works simply.

Thanks statdoc, could you elaborate further?

Several good write-ups here already.

Thanks! :thumbup:

Ok, finally got around to installing the aux connector. Had my daughters boyfriend helping just in case. He is a tech kid that has built robots. My wifes X3 is an '04 with nav. We removed the radio and found an 18 port connector. There was no 12 port. We followed all directions pictures etc. All the wires looked the same just all in the 18 port. We put the three wires that came with the aux into the 18 port in the proper locations and it will not work. We tried a few different things and still nothing. Not only that, there is no air blowing with the a/c, heat, defrost etc. We did not even touch any of those wires. WTF? We triple and quadruple checked all connections, disconnected the aux port wires and made sure everything was back to how is was beforehand. This looked so easy, what do I need to do besides take it to the dealer or a stereo shop? Could a fuse have blown or something?

Figured out my issue...I guess I am completely retarded and I have no problem admitting it.....:rolleyes:

What was wrong?

BTW, Griza any plans to upgrade your Cayenne to X ///M? :)

I tried to hooked it up in the wrong spot due to my lack of attention to directions. I was trying to rush and that is what happens when you don't take your time.

I had been saying back a few years ago I wish BMW would come out with a high hp X. The only reason I switched was because of the lack of a high hp X. I honestly am not that big of a fan of my CTTS other than the power. I actually enjoyed my 4.6iS much better and if I had never of sold it, I would be driving the X///M right now. I can't justify switching at this point but I will be driving one at some point.
