iPod interface install in SAN DIEGO

Have any San Diego residents here had the new iPod adapter installed yet? What dealership did you use?

I too want to get the IPOD adapter installed.. I spoke to my salesman at BMW San Diego, and he said he will call me back with a price and availability... Is that where you were thinking of going too?

Brecht BMW hasn't installed any yet, so I don't trust them. Harloff BMW says they are waiting for new software from BMW before they can install. BMW of San Diego said they've only done one install, on a 6 series, and they charged the guy $980 for it.

I think what I'm going to have to do is wait for Harloff to get it going. They seem to be the most reputable as far as service goes.

I coulda sworn I saw someone on this forum or bimmerfest that lived in San Diego and had the adapter installed/working in a 06 330.

I bought my Ipod adaptor from BMW of SD. They parts guy told me they had plently of adaptors. The only downside was the wait to get it installed. I was given a appointment 2 weeks out, but I couldn't wait that long. While in AZ for labor day I had it installed.

It sounds great and the control is outstanding!

Why not DIY? I have worked with car stereos for over 6 years...So I might just do it myself... I just don't know if it will void any warranty with the car.

Besides removing most of the dash....there is still a software update for my NAV. So why pay them to just load software when they can quickly remove the dash and any other componets that I know nothing about.

How much did they charge you for the install?

I'm the guy who got the free ipod install. They had big probelms loading the software, failed communications module. This week I'm going to BMW of SD to get it checked out. I was told 198 for the install
