Aux with Navigation radio

Post by QRT » Sun Sep 15, 2019 6:53 pm

Hi (again).

I want to install an aux-socket in my E85. Took out the radio (I have the one with navigation), bought the original BMW aux with cable - but there is not free socket in the radio for my cable?

So, what do I do now - How do I get aux in my car?

insert the pins in Sound System 4,8,9 yours may have different pin outs but the principle stands, you just need to check the correct pins.

Check the wiring harness coming from back of stereo. Mined had the Aux cable already there and loose but it was tucked away.
For some reason it wasent installed in the dash??
