Hi guys,

After fiddling with many ways of getting my ipod to play through my stereo, I've decided to look into getting an aux-in cable fitted. I have a 2003 Z4 with the standard 6-speaker system.

Is it a simple job, and how much should I be looking to pay an auto electrician to do this? All I'm looking for is either a 3.5m jack input (female) which I can connect to my ipod headphone socket.

Where abouts you based? If you're Newcastle ish then I'd do it for you it's fairly easy and I did it on mine

Cheers guys, I'll maybe order the cable and have a pop at it myself!

I'm in Glasgow, so Newcastle's a bit far - but I appreciate the offer smile

Do it yourself, I can barely change a lightbulb and managed it on my old Z4MC, I found that thin forks worked best for popping out the air vents.....
