Ipod Aux Cable Kit
 
Hi guys,

New to this site. I was planning on installing an ipod auxillary cable kit (not the whole ipod kit) on my 2004 BMW X3. The bmw kit has installation coming into the glove box. I was hoping to find out if I can install it elsewhere close to the dash so I don't need the glove box open everytime I want to listen to my songs. Is there a way to have the port on my dash?

Also, if someone has instructions for the following, that would greatly help:
- Changing both the drive belts on this car
- Replacing the blower motor (been having some cricket sounds coming in from the center A/C vents)

Thanks for your help!

Nick

Your head unit may not support AUX option. 2004 is a bit early. You should check your serial number.

From here: There is no easy way to confirm the features of a BM53 radio module

Oh I have cricket sounds too. But to remove the blower the entire dash has to be removed. So a very very expensive option. I turn up the stereo. There is a video out there somewhere showing what is involved. Not nice at all.

I checked the serial number for the radio on my car and it says P1201514. Not sure if the Aux input can work with this. Any suggestions?

It is the model number you are after. Apologies my bad. Did you photograph the label? ie easy to get the model number?

Aux Input
 
I have an 04 X3. I went to the dealership and bought the Aux cable for like $35. You pull the radio, and there is a harness connection for the Aux cable. It is really easy. I ran it down the dash and tucked it under the middle console all the way to inside the arm rest. In there, I installed a bluetooth adapter that plugs into it.

Oops. Mistake on my part. Blower is accessible from the engine bay. It is the air conditioner evaporator that is the nightmare.

Save yourself the trouble and get a Jabra Cruiser2 Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone for under $100.- I have one in my X3 and love it. Hands free phone through built in speaker of throgh car stero. Also stream music and even XM radio or Pandora .
