[QUOTE="rpmnut, post: 22075, member: 20757"] Thing about the E39 is this : fabulous drive, awesome engine....but the standard BMW Business sound system with its cassette player in the dash and 6CD changer in boot is a bit "sedih" lah. Fed up with constantly having to swap CD's in and out, I first asked AB if they had a connector for the E39. Unfortunately they told me out of stock. And even if they ordered one, they'd gladly relieve me of just over 1k to fit the thing to my car.So instead, I got a pal in UK to buy and ship over to me, an original iPod connector kit that he got from BMW UK. Paid about RM700 for the kit, including shipping, and got my mechanic to install it for me. Now I've got 1,500 tracks stored neatly in my glovebox! :D :DSo here's a tip for you guys. Before getting AB to fit anything, check and see if you can get one for less elsewhere. Abroad if you have to, cos it's sometimes cheaper than you think! ;) LOL [/QUOTE]
