X5 Aux line-in cable DIY
 

First, let me show the display on the instrument panel, and the ipod U2.

How do you get the OBC display in the radio screen? Is that a v26 feature? Also, what is the mail icon in the bottom right corner?

the sketch of cables. I found some mistake in the original instruction of BMW aux kit. Maybee just with my X5.

It is a very normal setup in the menu. My prevenient X5 3.0 in 2003 has this function too. ;)

Use a normal audio cable, you can find it from the computer market(for multimedia speaker). I choose a 3.5mm stereo plug--->3.5mm stereo socket, if difficult to find that, you can use the 3.5mm plug--->3.5mm plug type as
the one with green plugs in the photo.

How do you access and display that screen. Whats the difference with the Aux cable you have displayed and the orignal? Is this just a do it your self kind of thing?

Final work of the cable.

The Aux socket in glove box.
I did not drill holes in the glove box.

ok, I can take some photos of the menu setup later. The differnce is when you press "mode", "AUX" will display after such as CD, FM, tape.
