Will this work in a 2003 BMW X5? And what wiring harness adapter will it require to make it all work? Does this come with complete install instr?

Its made for like Chinese cars I would get a kenwood alpine or a name brand if I was you. It doesnt fit perfectly in my car. But it works ok.

I sent mine back. It wouldn't play the first second or two of every song. And the instructions are really limited.

It comes with little instructions. But lookup the wire harmed for the car you have it will work and all goes in fairly easy. If u need any help just write me back

Yes. This one is designed to plug into the round access port under the hood. However, if for some reason your access port is the square ODB/ODBII type located under the driver's side dash, you will also need the adapter cable (usually sold separately). Other readers, please correct me if wrong, but believe BMW switched to the ODB under-the-dash style ports in 1998.

I have one for my 2000 BMW Z3 and it works great. No additional adaptors are needed. All you have to do is uncover the connector under the hood, insert the resetting tool, and follow the instructions.

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!

In my x5 e53 there is an open socket on the back of the factory harness where it just plugs right inDid not remove any wires

It comes with all wiring needed for installation. You will need to tap into car 12v, I tapped into the 12v lighter circuit in the console (not sure if that is recommended but it worked for me). The wiring harness in one seat was defective in one of the kits I bought and customer service is a dead end line with this company. I emailed and called and never had a call or email returned, so if they don't work properly you're on your own. I have ordered four kits from them. You can expect them to work for a couple years and then you will have some issues. Personally I will look elsewhere next time I buy heated seat elements.

This should have everything you would need with the exception of however you intend to connect the wires. Soldering the connections is how I did it because that is the most fool proof method, but it isn't as easy. You will need to find a wiring diagram for your particular vehicle though. I would recommend looking into the adapters from bBulldog security. You can check if they have one for your vehicle on their webpage. They are supposed to make it pretty much plug and play! Hope that helps you out.

The wiring harness is there. It plugs right into the stock harness just like the stock assemblies.

Yes it will definitely, it works in my 2006 X5 and a friend's 2004 X5, provided you have a CD changer in it of course :)

It is complete, needs nothing. I have it in my 2003 Avalanche with the OEM6 CD changer, same as a Suburban. Your 05 is probably the same, but I don't know that for a fact.You will be very happy with this device, it'll give you full control of your iPod and you can see the songs, singers, and length of the song on your radio screen. If you have XM it works on XM 2 and leaves you in control of XM 1. It's worth every penny. I installed it myself and I should have gone to a shop and had them do it, because it was a pain for me and would have been a snap for them! It is complete, needs nothing.

Works on my BMW. So depending on your car it should work. It is the SW in the car that makes it work. IF the car mfg says this is what is needed then most likely it will work. GL

The XM radio and steering wheel connection will most likely be Chevy specific. To squash any questions I emailed the customer service section at Enfig Car Stereo, (a reputable wiring harness and in dash install kit manufacturer), and requested a list of all necessary parts for a plug and play install. No wire cutting, just adding adapters. I'm sure there are other vendors that may be available through Amazon. I found Enfig while searching YouTube for DIY videos specific to my vehicle, (2013 Passat S).

No. This item is for 2000-2006 x5. The item YOU ARE looking for is Rola 59718 Black Cross Bar for BMW X5. These are a great investment for your X5 and worth every penny. Again you want the Rola 59718 for your 2007 :)

You are right. If you installed according to the instructions it should work properly. I think the wiring harness is reversed or your wiring. Check your wiring to verify its correct, if your wiring is OK then it could the wire harness of the unit. Also make sure your wire harness of your vehicle is positive (+) and not negative (-). I would send it back to Amazon for replacement.

I honsetly dont know, I use it on a 06 Bmw 3 series and it work like a charm. Do some research on the forums that is how I came upon my choice for this item.

If your car is equipped with U2K (factory XM radio) then the adaptor should plug into the harness instead of the original XM box but if it did not come with U2K then it likely will not work as the large radio connector on your car is not compatible with the other adaptor in this kit. You could check on the left side of your trunk behind the trim panel (behind & above the wheel well) to see if the factory XM connector is there.

H,The ISGM575 comes with a complete wiring harness. Once you remove the radio/cd layer, you will see the wiring plugs, simply unplug and plug in the ISGM575. Make sure that you follow the instructions for reactivation!!It took me about 20 minutes to install mine and it works well.
