ipod integration into an e39 m5 w/ navigation?

[SSense]

Thanks Bruno for mentioning yellow hat, ive checked their website and they've some really interesting stuff. I might want to install the nokia bluetooth kit, cuz my stock phone isnt working and AGMC said they'll have to replace it, which would cost Dhs 8000/-

go to scrap yards and try to find a used phone

Its not the matter of the new phone, the whole problem lies in the Control Unit, which cannot be fixed + BMW phones are sick I feel. This phone worked well for a week, with no problem, but then now it cant find the network and the voice isnt too clear.
Im thinking of installing some bluetooth to connect my mobile too, it'd be good to answer from my mobile + i want to use one sim card rather than 1 in mobile and the other in the car set, to avoid the pain of diverting the calls every now and then :)

went to yellow hat today, the installed it...
799 for dice.
250 for instalation.

and of course, it doesnt work...
the guy said that i have to update my ipod software, cuz his ipod worked with it, but mine didnt.

so now the issue...
the back of the package says its compatable with 5g and older.
i just bought a new ipod 80gb classic in NY, so is it too new?

i will be going back tomorrow anyways, wish me luck!
and gimme ideas if you have any.

:)

thanks for the help!

Bruno, can you instal it on my car?

[Bruno]

jeanloup. Honestly i haven't installed any on Z4s yet. Shouldn’t be any major differences, just make sure to know which system you have "Analog or Digital DSP"?


Go through this to understand more about it.

mmm.... apparently there is something called Video Source Module (VSM) which will make the device play video files on the nav system. now that's cool!

[Bruno]

your z4 installation is easier than ours:yippy:

Bruno, Honnestly I don't know but if you want to see the car no a problem we can meet at your garage anytime.
