Newbie question...First Post

Tyrosman · 11-01-2009, 10:38 AM

Hi everyone,
I have just come across this forum so thought I would join in and see if I can learn something and maybe offer something back too...

I have a 2003 BMW 745i which has the entertainment pack fitted, consisting of radio, Cd player and stacker, Television, Telephone and Satnav etc.
What I would be interested in if anyone has any idea, and that is to tap on an auxilliary input so as to connect an Mp4 player. It is a very complex set up and for MD to fit would supposedly cost about a grand... ridiculous price I think there must be a way of connecting into maybe the cd input lead or something.
Any thoughts would be most welcome and appreciated.

Thanks, hope you can help

Pete

You need an Axxess XIA adapter with the proper cables.
