[QUOTE="paultantk, post: 401848, member: 6665"] I have completed the conversion of my 1997 pre-FL E39's ICE. What I had before was an integrated IRIS display and casette player, and a CD changer that kept getting broken. I bought a CD53 Single CD player (from E39 or X5 also can) and a MID display (BMW displays got 2 type - the simpler IRIS and the MID system which single cd requires). Of course you need the R40 Plugpak which you can get from europeanautosource. THey did not want to ship to Malaysia so i sent it to my friend in teh US and she brought it back when she came home.

Physically the X5 MID fits but the connector has to be modified. The CD53 from the X5 works fine and is pretty much identical to the one in the E39. Later I got the DICE Silverline Pro iPod dock from bavsound and junked the CD changer. [/QUOTE]
