BTW I also discovered my car, even thought it has the premium sounds package and the navigation, I don't have the CD changer in the glove box...

man these options are tricky on that car. I don't need it but I thought it would be there...

is that 'normal' in 2011 cd changer was optional ?

search is my friend...
2011 X5 DVD Changer?? - Bimmerfest - BMW Forums

:)

ok so I found something but they really don't call it combox

they call it "2012 Chassis Control Box(not Engine) BMW X5 "

Is that what need to be purchased ? I mean they don't give a part number or something ? scarry ;)

^^ Thats not what you need, thats mislabelled

argh :( that is all it finds when I try to select (Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market)

-> 2011
-> X5
-> select computer box not engine.
-> communications.

I have a 2011 - it took a little fiddling the 1st time i did it, but I bluetooth stream pandora, audible books, etc. all the time.

In my opinion, it works very well - sound quality is very good and I like that I can "skip to the next " via I drive.

What's the manuf date of your 2011?

February, 2011

Yeah my 2011's manuf date is June 2010 so it has the old software. I wasn't able to stream via Bluetooth. I ended up getting a Blackberry Gateway and problem solved. If anybody has an early manuf 2011 and you've been able to BT stream, please speak up. :D
