This is a great site, with a lot of great comments and pictures might I add....Hello to everyone!

I've been trying to figure out if PML installs the IPOD kit for Bimmers....can anyone help?

[kevinm]

yes they do. costs abt $400 but also do note that it disables your onboard cd changer .. so you got to think whether the ipod or your cds are more impt. =)

cheers

Hi Muimui,

Welcome to the forum and hope you'll visit often and get to meet the forumers soon.

Re iPod, I just got an iPod recently too and was thinking of adding it to my ICE. In fact, I will be heading down to Hong Guan tomorrow to get it done. WILL NOT LOSE THE USE OF CD CHANGER and original BMW head unit.

Need to install a simple switch that will allow u to select to play from iPod OR the original headunit (radio; tape; CD).

and if I may add, forget about PML. They know not what they do with regards to the iPod......

Old-fashioned people like me believe in the good, ole cassette adapter! It's cheap, portable and with some ingenuity, can be wired up seamlessly without the ipod showing. Add a RF remote control and you have control of the iPod without touching it. The thought of PML ripping things out is scary, to say the least. Dun know how many scratches they are going to leave on your car in the process.
