DIY - AUX on BMW Business Radio or CD

[anaksarawak]

I am hoping to have some club guest or OM to do this together during one of our TT.Let's get started.

1. This was male on both end and I just cut one side.

2. Close up

3. Some people might wonder what this is.

This is a cable that I found from my old computer I was about to throw away. This pin connects to motherboard for power switch, reset switch, hdd led, power led, etc.
Do not cut the other end of this cable, just pull the pins out. It will help you to solder it.

4. See? It is so much easier to connect them to solder it.

5. 3 small and 1 big heat shrink tube.

6. Ok. It is done.

7. From HU, pin 8,9(left,right or right,left don't care too much.

) and pin 4(ground) need to be connected.
You will be surprised how well it fits.

8. Finished

Total cost $0. Because I found everthing I need at home and it works great. http://forum.e46fanatics.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=84802&d=1089824812 red/black(sound left/right) goes into pin 8/9 and
yellow(grounding) into pin 4.

Interesting. But just wondering is our E46 have AUX option factory-fitted in the HU? I don't recall seeing the AUX option while selecting source of input on mine.
