Z4M iPod connectivity

[sebhaque]

Evening all,

A friend of mine wants to get an iPod/iPhone connection in his '07 Z4M, but isn't really sure how to approach it. He quite likes the Dice system in my E46 M3, although it's imperfect, as it won't move across artists/albums, and it doesn't charge my phone (and also has an interesting skipping sound accompaniment from the CD player).

Would someone be able to advise me as to the best path to send him down? Happy to provide further details if necessary - it's a Z4M coupé with the standard radio - Carmen or Karman or something? It's not the Harman Kardon system. Doesn't have the "hidden" aux port under the drivers heated seat button.

TIA!

Is that the kit that tags on to the CD changer unit? I don't think my buddy has a CDC in his Z4. Will it still work?

It uses the cables that are installed for the cd changer, but doesn't require a cd changer to be present.

The wiring should be there.

Good luck getting to it

The wiring will be there for the cd changer, in the coupe it is dead easy to get to. Go from the boot and remove the carpet on the firewall, it takes literally 5 minutes to fit the intravee and alpine unit. Don't think the alpine unit is available now, so it'll have to be an ebay purchase for that part.
