aux-in

I won't bore you with the install of taking the radio out ,there are plenty of threads on that. If you are like me and think the aux-in in the glove box is in a stupid spot , you should like this. I ran the Wires under the center counsel and came up in the center arm rest .Also at the same time I ran 12V to have aux power ports. Very easy to do ,bought some material at hobby lobby to match 2.50 cents and the spray adhesive was 7 bucks at autozone. The aux-power plugs were 8 bu8cks each.I cut the corner of a old tool plastic tool box to make the piece inside the arm rest.

looks good

now THAT's "PRO"

thx

Looks great any chance you can put up a DIY on how you ran the wires through the center console?

well my don't have AUX
how can i add this AUX to my car radio system?

hoping you can share or link to a thread on how to get the AUX on our car. I dont have a AuX either but would love to get one so i can play pandora thru my phone.

Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Bimmer

any update information on this Aux?

was it a hard install and what is the process you had to go through to tie into the system i own a 2005 645 that i would really like to move up to date thank you if you can help put me in the right direction

Does anyone have a detailed DIY on the aux install for the 05 645ci?

To enable the AUX function in your iDrive menu you need to enable it using coding software.

You can probably use the following software:

- Autologic
- Progman

But I know for certain that you can use NCS Expert.

In NCS Expert you connect to the car & change the setting AUXIN from nicht_aktiv to aktiv in the MASK or CAPPL module depending on what you have in your car. You also need to add +NAUX to the VO (Vehicle Order), the VO is usually stored in the CAS & LMA modules.

There's loads of sites with DIYs for updating the VO & coding modules. The changes above would take 5-10 minutes all in. Progman has a fancier GUI & it might be easier to do but it will take longer.
You then buy a retrofit kit, part number: 65 12 0 153 502

Here's BMW's own guide for performing the retrofit for the e60 & e63/4, it is largely the same, all the hardware in our cars are e60.
