Ipod interface retrofit instructions

siscobmw · 01-03-2010, 03:27 AM

Hi!
for those like me that forgot to get the car with right options, I give you the instructions for DIY installation of ipod adapter..
this instructions are good for cars without cd changer prep option and no cd changer option.
I have professional radio and 11 speaker system, and the installation requires no flashing before installaiton....and no re-coding after everything is installed on the car...it seems that My09 cars don't requires coding anymore.....it's just plug and play procedure....

Have you got instruction on the trim removal?

siscobmw · 01-16-2010, 07:56 AM

sadly not...
You can start removing the black trim under the car, it has 4 pressure clip , one on each corner, you need something like a knife to insert in the trim edge....once you remove it there are 4 screws for the radio , then you have to look at the upper part of radio compartment, looking inside the compartment , just where the climate controls are located....If I remeber correctly there are 2 screws and then you can pull it off.....remove the climate wirings and...that's it.
I am not sure now about the 2 screws retaining the climate control.....
