Will this work with a 2004 530i? The console doesn't show an aux option, not sure if it appears upon connection or is independently programmed.

It should work... But I'm not 100% certain. When you hit "Mode" on the radio, it'll come up, but only after the aux kit is installed. So you're right, it only appears once connected. I installed mine in my 2006 X3 and I love it. Works great. Good luck!

I went to geek squad at Best Buy and they told me to order this part so I did. But when I took it to them they did successfully install the part but they could not program the system to give me an auxiliary input option. So as of now it is just installed in my glove box but as far as knowing whether or not I can get the system updated to where I can use an auxiliary input don't know yet. But yes it can be installed. I have a 2004 545i

Hello, Yes, you do have to reprogram the iDrive si that the Aux input will appear on the screen as source. There are detailed instructions here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FeIIeh1TFY

It will probably work, but it will most likely not work with the remote controls. My friend has a BMW that has the controls and I tested it on his. Audio works, but no controls.

with no info other than it being a standard head unit, I would suggest you contact a BMW dealer. They would be able to better answer your question. From what I'm finding, many head unit's have Siruis radio built into the unit.

Yes it worked on my viper the aux was the auto start. Bad thing is I could not get it to program and had to go to a dealer, Best Buy who also sells them for more $.

No, my 2003 E46 with 16/9 navi had a separate plug behind the radio unit. It was hidden under a black wrap near another cable. Aux in works now and also cd changer.

I have a 2003 accord. Can't say it will work the same but before installing this product, my aux button didn't do anything. But after installing it i guess it recognized that I had an aux plugged in so it worked.

It would not. If hold the CD button for more than 3 seconds does not give you the option of "Aux Option" then it means that your stereo doesn't have the Aux output for the Aux.

I'm assuming that you are plugging it into the aux port. If so, of course it will work.

No it's not going to work. This unit only works on systems that have both a matter and a slave unit... I don't know what you would use for you're application. Maybe an aftermarket stereo is better.

I have an 09 Gallant. Do you have the 6 disc changer? If so, Google the model number and look fora site that gives you the socket pin outs. If not, no joy. There is no audio level in capability for the single disc stereo. I found the bad news onot the Internet and spent the better part ofa day trying to make it work anyway. A new head unit might even be a better idea.

I have a 2005 Civic VP. Bought this thing. no installation instructions. No reference to a specific youtube video. When I follow random youtube videos I see no similar AUX socket. Says its compatible with a 2005 Civic. What the heck?

Hello John S. This is a good link for you Retrevo.com. Go to Manuals and Colby Manuals. This site offers free tech help. I don't have a car that has the aux plug in. I hope this helps. Take Care, Brent in No. Ariz.

Does your car have the USB port right next to the aux in? If so it should. I use mine in a 2010 Forte.

No this bluetooh interface works with Aux input only. You may want to check Belkins FM transmitter. I have used before and just works fine.

I will work on your car and system, but it only provides an AUX input, it doesn't provide charging for connected devices.
