just recently bought my 2006 x5 which i am very happy with. However it hasnt got an auxiliary 3.5mm jack lead point to plug my ipod/iphone into! never used cd's in years so this little mod con is a must for me. I have a business single cd player already fitted. my questions are;

1. can i retro fit an aux cable into the already fitted entertainment unit?

2. has anyone got a link referring to which equipment to buy?

3. is there any how to guides on installing this equipment or has anyone done it before?

I also love the BMW's 'angel eyes', but mines are the older yellowish style glare i would like to upgrade to the more modern, white-ish bluey glare. Ive already had a quick look and it looks easy enough i am just unsure of which new kit to buy as there is lots of options from very cheap to quite pricey. Has anyone else ever done this and can point me in the right direction.

Hope to hear from someone soon.

Thankyou

Can't help you myself, Michael, but if you go into Forums and scroll down to General categories then into Audio/video/Electronics/Security you may find some answers to your questions.

      Steering wheel replacement

      Morning Connah Welcome to the Forum Not sure what you are trying to achieve here ? If your OEM steering wheel has paddle shifts it should be fairly straight forward swap even though the replacement will probably be Aftermarket. Just make sure you can get support from the seller and they accept returns if it didn't fit If you don't have paddle shifts there is the small issue of how you can get the shift to work, it will involve loom extensions and programming at least. If you just want the competition look and are not worried about the operation then it becomes easier Good Luck Dave

      F30 A-pillar install

      Morning Shawn Other than checking www.realoem.com and the Internet for help, it's not a job I have done but that would be my starting point. Perseverance, patience and practice may help as well 😅 plastic clips are easy to break if they are not spot on with alignment. I buy spares before starting any job that involves taking trim off, try trial fitting the clips off the car gives an idea of alignment and pressure needed I have used a little Washing up liquid as lubricant Good Luck Dave

      F30 A-pillar install

      I removed the driver’s side a-pillar in my 2013 320i to make sure the sunroof drainage tubes weren’t leaking behind them. As easy as they are to get off, what a pain to put back on. I ordered new plastic retainers because both broke. Does anyone have any pointers for getting it back on? I fought with it for an hour with no luck whatsoever.
