COMMENTS

• The original BMW car radio/navigation system must have MP3 playback.
• When a factory CD changer is installed, it must have MP3 playback (in the E60, E61, E63, E64, these models had both MP3 CD changers and non-MP3 CD changers installed) approximately 80% of cars had MP3 CD changers installed.
• If your car does not meet the above requirements, please read on to learn how to make your car “MP3 compatible” through system updates:
• Vehicles with an existing CD changer: If your radio/navigation system has a standard CD changer without MP3 capability, please ask your BMW dealer if MP3 functionality can be added to your vehicle via a software update. (Except for the listed 2.b E60, E61, E63, E64 CD changers which may (and may not) be MP3 compatible.)
• Vehicles without existing CD changer: Most, if there is no installed CD changer in your BMW, please ask your BMW dealer if the CD changer port output supports MP3 function. The original CD changer with MP3 must be installed temporarily for the update process. (Exception: E60, E61, E63, E64 models, factory CD changers without MP3 must be used for the update process.)

ACCESSORIES

• Lightning holder (IP6LCRP)
• iPhone Lightning to USB Cable (IPLC1GW)

• Auxiliary audio cable (BLR1JJ1)

Assembly notes:

Mercedes E W211 models with a factory hands-free kit – for Bluetooth to function properly, the factory phone module must be completely disconnected from both the fiber optic cable and the power supply (the customer also logged it out of the system; simply disconnecting it should help). Symptoms of the malfunction included Bluetooth disconnecting for 2 or 3 seconds when the radio or CD player was turned on, as well as a squealing sound when the CD player was playing.
