BMW e92 2008 In-car iPod integration
Hi guys,
I'm looking to purchase In-car iPod integration for my 2008 e92. I have found the following: http://caraudiosecurity.com/ctabmipo...ipod-interface It says it'll fit: BMW Business OEM head units, iBus Vehicles that have 17 Way Round Pin Connector. According to BMW VIN Decoder I have: S663A Radio BMW Professional S694A Provisions for BMW 6 CD changer Will this fit my car? Many Thanks |

you wont need the CIC but you will need the 6FL stuff... combox and that does get quite pricey... might be better to get an ipod fm transmitter if you don't have an aux...

aah damn it....i thought I had found a cheap solution to go with until I save up for a Dynavin unit...I think I'll live with the AUX for the time being and just save up quicker for the Dynavin unit

If you want to go for the Dynavin route, look at the Zenec units. I've heard they are much better quality wise. The Dynavin are not so good apparently. I've read a few posts where people have said that they are a little underwhelming. |

I'm pretty sure this won't be compatible - there is no ipod retrofit kit for the pre lci professional HUs! I looked into this a while back! It's only cars with the business HU that the kit works with! The only options for iPod integration are: newer professional HUs / Denison or an aftermarket HU! |

This is just iPod connection only and according to Realoem is listed for the pre-lci Professional HU's (option code S663A which the OP has). http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...5&fg=95&hl=175 |

Yes, this kit simply offers iPod/iPhone connectivity via a ipod wire and will play and control music from your idevice via your stereo. There is no USB here. 6FL/USB on the other hand plays music off the idevices and any USB based device too. I use my 6FL USB with a 32GB memory stick loaded with music. This is for example something the ipod kit I mentioned cannot do.

Nothing best than the OEM route with oem integration.
