Hi,

I would like to have the I-pod connection in my E91 M Sport Tourer to link up to my I-drive with the display on the sat nav screen, the car has pro nav.

I have been quoted £469, £442 and £323, each by different dealers.

I know, go for the cheapest one but, they are a 250 mile round trip from me the other 2 are local.

I have rang BMW UK and they say threre is no menu pricing for this and the disparity is down to dealers labour rates. I think this is crap the cheapest is Coopers in Reading and the other 2 are Rydale Cardiff and Newport.

What do you guys think and what have you paid?

Steve

This is just about the best i pod link i have ever seen. way more flexible than the BMW one and more upgradeable!

Easy solution.

I think I read that Sytner charge £350, but other people have had it installed for less than £300.

I don't think it's worth the money. The retro-fit one is emulates a cd changer, which means it looks clunky and doesn't function anywhere near as well as the ipod clickwheel.

Will the locals not price match if you take proof of the cheap quote?

No, Rydale won't price match at the moment.
