2003 745i BMW Ipod Intergeration

[77-AUDIO]

I have a friend that wants to keep the factory radio (as much as possible) in his 2003 BMW 745i. He wants to add the use of his iPhone and iPod to the car.

Car has the navigation, with the i-Drive controls and steering wheel controls.

I looked around and found a couple options and I was curious if anyone on here has done this before and what did they use.

Cheap way is to add the factory aux

Bout 300 after programming

For on screen ipod control is bout 1400 after programming

You can also use a gateway. Their around 600

Cool piece

Id have to check and see if that usa spec piece would actually give on screen controls with idrive.

Im almost positive it doesnt.

The gateway works over the MOST system.

Full data and control

The JL Audio Clean Sweep wouldnt work? I have used them a time or two

I used DICE Electronics when they first came out and that integrated well with my factory HU. But one thing to also look out for is the user interface. My current set up sucks because I have to actually use the ipod to control it with no HU controls.

But i believe DICE has made some major improvement and that might be a good route.
