Retrofit AUX input installation problem
 

Hi all.
I have a 2004 X5 4.4i, without nav, with Professional Radio/CD. I bought today the retrofit kit for the auxiliary input, i did everything the way i was supposed to, i even broke the bezel around the AC/Heater control unit, and i`m stuck at the end, with plugging the wires into the existing 12 pin plug. Problem is, they say in the instructions, and even here on the website, that the three wires one white/brown, one white/blue and one yellow, well, instead of the yellow, i have a white/red. Anyway, they say that i`m supposed to plug them in plugs 3, 4 and 10. Well, 3 and 4 are busy at the moment, having other wires plugged into them, the 10 is available. Question is, what the heck do i do, since i can`t plug them where they tell me to ? I only have this one plug back there, in case you think i didn`t look.

Please help and... Thanks for listenng :)

White/red is correct.

White/red in 3
White/blue in 4
White/brown in 10

Where do the wires go that are already plugged into pins 3 and 4? Are you sure you are looking at the connector correctly? There should be two rows of pins.

Have you read through this article: http://www.bmwmotorsports.org/pdf/E3...nstallInst.pdf

Yes, the installation instructions that you gave me are exactly the ones that come in the bag with the retro kit. I don`t know where the 3 and 4 go, they come from the harness, and go into the radio. And the plug has numbers on both sides, 1 - 6 and on the other side 7 - 12., so i think i got them right. I think i would have to remove 3 and 4, and plug them elsewhere, but where is the question.....

I figured it out :)). I was messing with the MID, instead of the CD player, dumb me :). Thanks guys

Alright! Glad to hear you got it figured out.
