THE PRICE ON THIS MOD DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU PAY FOR THE PARTS NEEDED .
THESE PARTS ARE NEEDED FOR THESE YEARS OF YOUR E65 E66 =

2 = MMI SCREEN IS NEEDED FROM = ( 02 TO 05 )
3 = AUX CABLE NEEDED ALL YEARS NOT EQUIPPED WITH IT
4 = AT TUNER NEEDED = ( WHEN APPLICABLE 02 TO EARLY 06 )
& YES YOU STILL HAVE TO HAVE THE AUX FEATURE CODED
SO IT SHOWS UP ON YOUR SCREEN . THE DEALER WILL NOT
CODE THE AUX FEATURE ON YOUR CAR . YOU WILL NEED TO
FIND SOMEONE TO CODE IT FOR YOU , OR YOU CAN LEARN TO
CODE IT YOURSELF ...
=== READ CAREFULLY ===
BE SURE TO CHECK THE BUILD DATE ON PARTS &
MAKE SURE THEY ARE FROM A CAR BUILT IN LATE 06
, 07 , 08
IF YOU HAVE AN 02 TO 05 YOU WOULD NEED
1 = MMI SCREEN ( BUILD DATE FROM 06 UP T0 08 )
2 = ASK UNIT / CD PLAYER ( BUILD DATE 07 UP 08 )
3 = AT/TUNER ( BUILD DATE 06 UP 08 )

FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH AN EARLY BUILD DATE 06 .

THIS WILL WORK ON ANY 745 OR 750 FROM 2002 TO 2008 AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE CORRECT PARTS NEEDED ...
=== READ CAREFULLY ===
YOU WILL STILL NEED TO HAVE THE AUXILIARY FEATURE
CODED ONTO YOUR MMI SCREEN BY SOMEONE WHO CAN DO IT .
PREFERABLY AN EXPERIENCED CODER .

8 = GROUND = BLACK OR WHITE & BROWN

When you use the auxiliary it should change to
The auxiliary volume control . Watch my video
& you can see what is supposed to be on the MMI screen after you select Aux
Sorry I was driving down the road trying to take that picture and must have pulled the cord out a little. Here is a picture with it plugged in, the stations grey out and no music plays and no volume control shows up. I tried pushing the idrive down several times and nothing happens.

sorry but i don't see anything grayed out ???
To me it just looks like your listening to the
fm radio & you have the dial on aux before you
actually select aux as the item to be used .
Only thing I can think of is your car is
Not coded correctly or your ask unit
Is not the right ask unit for auxiliary .
Not muxh I can do without having the
car here so I can look at it .
Paper is right. i had the same thing and as soon as i replaced the ASK unit to a newer version it worked like a charm.
this project has two sections. one is the coding to enable the AUX in the MMIGT (or whatever that section of the coding is named). it looks like you got that part. as soon as you code it the AUX becomes available and selectable. the other part is the ASK unit. it has to be 06/06 or newer. mine was 01/06 and it wouldn't work. as soon as i put there a newer unit it works great.
Paper,
the sound quality though (playing through my iphone) is not the same as radio or cd. it is lacking the bass and deep sounds like a true cd quality.
is there something i can do to improve the sound quality?
don't get me wrong. i love the fact that i can play music through my iphone but i wish the sound quality was better/deeper.
Not sure if you got my PM or not, but do you repair logic 7 amps or ask units?
I have been researching AUX input and NCS Expect and playing around with it, but don't want to mess up the MMI unit. Anyways my car was built 01/06 so I think I have to buy a 06/06 ask unit or newer. Do you have one for sale? I found a few on ebay but thought I might try the forum first.

Sorry , but no I did not get a PM from you .
As for Ask & L7 repairs , I posted a topic
In the DIY section so you can do it yourself .
All the chips are easily available on Ebay .
Now for your Ask unit , I would buy the
auxiliary plug 1st before replacing your
ASK unit . It may or may not work , I have
Had both good & bad luck with Ask units
With 01/06 & 02/06 dates . A couple have
Worked fine & a couple didn't .

Great work but don't let that bother you if they believe you took their work, who cares :dunno: this work was done before they even knew how to do this.
So I've been searching around for the link regarding the aux cable and can't seem to find it...is there anyone out there that can point me to the website or the part number for the aux cable.
Thanks.

Did you watch papers video? He has the PN on there within the 1st few minutes, not only he says it but he shows the PN on the box but Im not so sure if the part you need will be same as yours bcz of different year cars.
Thanks for the reply papa, like I said I have an issue with adding +NAUX to the VO, no matter what I try it doesn't allow it, my car is 09-06-2006. The error message is: following feature is invalid for FA: +NAUX
No papa, I haven't tried removing any thing, besides i wouldnt know which one is the code for cdc. do I have I have to remove it?If so what do I have to do? Please help me with some steps from scratch incase I'm doing it wrong, i Really appreciate your help.
go into VO delete the CDC Option from the VO . then write to the
CAS & also the LMA . After that go back & add the +naux .
after you have +naux in the VO , go back & add the CDC back
to the VO .
Then all you need to do is the coding to the MMI .
after researching I found the cheapest way to install av is with the dension gateway 500. Selling for $230 on amazon. I think that's the way I'm going with mine.
did you ever get this set up? I'm looking at some Dension products as a solution for this (2005 745i with no aux port) and they look viable. I wouldn't want to install it myself so I'm curious if anyone here has and how easy/hard it was and how well it works.
