Car Forum / BMW Cars / April 2004mp3 player
Any connected a MP# player to a 3 Series 2002 and up? Was it simple or is it best to pay BMW ( local dealer)? I enjoy listening to not my Archos MP3 player and my new Delphi 'Roady' portable XM Radio receiver. There is nothing displayed on the MID or NAV because there is no connection to the bus. If you want that in addition to the clear audio you can expect to dispense large quantities of your favorite currency, if such a product is available. Find out if there is an auxiliary input adapter for your model. I recently added one to my E39 with a $40 - $50 (USD) part from BMW. Installation was easy in my model, but a friend and I know what we're doing, otherwise let BMW do it. They charge 1.5 hours labor, although it takes 45 minutes. I hope this helps. I originally wanted the MID or NAV display but gladly accept what I now have. > Any connected a MP# player to a 3 Series 2002 and up? > > Was it simple or is it best to pay BMW ( local dealer)? I use a small MP3 player (Creative), and an FM trasmitter (Belkin Tunecast II) which together fit inside my centre armrest. I just tune my car stereo into the transmitter and voila, perfect stereo reception and no wires :) Paul > Any connected a MP# player to a 3 Series 2002 and up? > > Was it simple or is it best to pay BMW ( local dealer)? This seems pretty sweet... but a wee bit pricey if you ask me. http://www.phatnoise.com/products/digitalmediaplayers/bmw.php Cheers. > Any connected a MP# player to a 3 Series 2002 and up? > > Was it simple or is it best to pay BMW ( local dealer)?

You can get a cd changer that plays MP3 (Alpine CHA-S634), Alpine AiNET to MBUS cable and a BMW to Alpine Interface, all for around ?250. This wil give the ability to play MP3s, and use the contriols on the head unit/sterring wheel. see www.bm3w.co.uk for more details on this option. > After careful thought and consideration Not Sure typed: > > This seems pretty sweet... but a wee bit pricey if you ask me.

No mod. req'd Maybe no mod is required but it also doesn't appear to work very well with BMWs; http://www.able2know.com/forums/about21842.html |
