Hi There!

My car is from the UK and I am trying to find out how I can avoid spending $1200 to get an Ipod option installed through BMW directly.

I have a USB in the glove box, but nothing in the middle console the way I have been told I should have if the Ipod option was installed.

Can someone recommend a cost effective aftermarket solution that will integrate with iDrive (Important to me).

You have a few choices:

1) COMBOX - best one if you can go for this
2) BMW iPOD connector - goes in place of your CD changer
3) Dension GW500 - Works well and cheap too

None of the above should cost you something like $1200. Total cost depends upon how big DIYer you are. If you are willing to read, learn and do it yourself then they are all cheap.
