Description

Connects a compatible legacy 30-pin iPod to the original factory radio through its external CD-changer connection. Supports music playback, supported track control and charging of compatible devices.

Music files and operation

For compatible legacy Apple 30-pin devices only. Confirm your exact iPod generation and charging requirements before purchase. This is not a Lightning or USB-C interface, USB-storage player, Bluetooth hands-free kit, CarPlay or Android Auto upgrade. No modern iPhone compatibility or song-title display on the factory radio is promised.

Compatibility

BMW original Philips, Blaupunkt or Becker radio with the old-style 17-way ROUND-pin connection: 3 Series E46 (1998–2002), 5 Series E39 (1996–2001), 7 Series E38 (2000), Mini (2001) and Z8 (2000–2002). Not for the 40-way flat-pin connection.

Installation

The original radio must have the compatible external CD-changer connection. An existing CD changer cannot remain in use with this interface. Available controls depend on the radio and existing steering-wheel controls. Follow the supplied instructions; configuration or professional installation may be required. Check factory navigation, amplification and other installed interfaces before ordering.

What is supplied

One model-specific interface kit with vehicle connection and iPod connection lead. iPod/phone, radio and any modern-device adapter are not included.
