Yes, it is very annoying, that BMW decided not to install aux port by default in our vehicles before 2007. In this post let's find out what you need to get for AUX port in your bimmer.
For USB coding options, it may be possible to reinstall the coding using the same file(s) as you used for initial installation. However, BimmerTech cannot guarantee that the coding file provided will work again after any factory software upgrade. Cable coding options can be recoded by us for a fee of $75, irrespective of the number of features. Hello BimmerPost! I am a new BMW owner. I bought a 2002 745i from my co-worker about 3 weeks ago and now I am learning more about BMW's than ever. Background: So last week I bought a AUX adapter off of eBay by 'germanaudiotech' for my BMW 2002 745i (E65). I followed PAPER's video on how to install it. Locate fuse and relay. Fuse box diagram. Identifying and legend fuse box BMW 7 (E65, E66, E68) 2001-2008.

If your car is pre 2007, and you don't have aux port in your idrive and neither you have aux port in your glove box- you are not in very good shape. To say the least its the hardest bmw body type if you decided you need aux port! Why? Because ask unit cd player and pretty much all multimedia modules in this car are digital, and there is no analogue signals anymore, and aux port signal is analogue, so common sense tells you need to convert it to digital bmw e65 signal in order to get sound from your sound system, doesn't sound easy at all to say the least. So here are the options: - BMW E65 FACTORY OEM AUX PORT INSTALLATION. DO NOT EVEN THINK OF BUYING BMW OEM AUX CORD JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE SAID ITS SO SIMPLE: BUY THE CORD 5-75$ CONNECT OT THE BACK OF YOUR ASK UNIT AND DONE??? REALLY? YES, CORD WILL FIT IN THERE AND THAT'S IT HERE- YOU WILL NOT GET ANYTHING WORKING APART FROM THAT GOOD SIDE YOU HAVE USELESS AUX PORT IN YOUR CAR. WELL, HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED:
- IF YOUR CAR IS PREFACE LIFTED 2002-2005 BMW 745I, 745LI, 760LI, 730I, 730D,THEN YOU NEED NEWER TYPE MMI SCREEN FROM 2006-2008 MODELS PLUS NEWER 2007-2008 ASK UNIT CD PLAYER. AND AFTER THAT YOU HAVE TO CODE BOTH TO YOUR CAR USING NCS EXPERT BMW PROGRAM TO ENABLE AUX INPUT IN MMI SCREEN (IF SCREEN CAME FROM 2006 CAR) AND CODE ASK UNIT TO WORK WITH YOUR TUNER AND OTHER MODULES. WHY? BECAUSE EVERY CAR HAS DIFFERENT OPTIONS AND FOR EXAMPLE RADIO TUNER WILL NOT WORK WITH NEWER ASK UNIT IF NOT REPROGRAMMED OR RECODED, ALSO SOME CARS WERE EQUIPPED WITH L7 TOP HIFI SYSTEM VS STANDARD HIFI SYSTEM, THAT'S WHY THOSE MODULES HAVE TO BE CODED. AND ONLY AFTER ALL THESE PROCEDURES YOU CAN BUY AUX BMW CORD AND IT WILL WORK! ALSO YOU WILL NEED FACELIFTED WOODEN TRIM, BC YOUR ORIGINAL WILL NOT FIT ANYMORE.
- IF YOUR CAR IS FACELIFTED 2006 BMW 750I, 750LI, 760LI, 740D, YOU ARE IN BETTER POSITION. YOU WILL ONLY NEED NEWER ASK UNIT 2007+, BC EVEN THOUGH THEY LOOK THE SAME, HARDWARE INSIDE IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AND ONLY LATER 2006 (WEEK 30 AND UP)+ MODELS WILL WORK WITH AUX UNIT AND CODING MMI SCREEN TO ACCEPT AUX INPUT, THEN YOU WILL GET AUX IN THE MENU AND EASY WAY TO CHECK IF ASK UNIT SUPPORTS AUX IS TO SEE IF IT RETURNS AUX LEVEL AFTER YOU CHOSE AUX IN THE MENU. OLDER ASK UNITS WILL NOT RETURN THAT LEVEL SUB MENU.
