Or is there another place that you can recomend that shippes to Sweden?
I talked to a BMW dealer here in Sweden, but they say that whatever aux cable i buy i need to program it for (180 Dollars or 133 pounds)
Is that true?
I dont have AUX when i press the mode button.
BMW Z4 3.0i from April 2004

I've just fitted an aux cable with a female end to the plastic cover under the dashboard and it cost £4.99 delivered . Got it off EBay with the resistor already part of the cable . Once it was fitted Aux automatically appears on your radio .

Here's the link , I actually got this off Amazon but EBay have them as well . You can see the resistor integrated in the cable . Some of the cables may have the resistor taped up .

if you fit this do you lose the CD changer function?

No, you don't lose your CD changer.
Plugs into the back of your radio so you need to pull it out .
