Cd changer
- Thread starter john-e89

Don't think it is standard fit but until I get my car I can't tell for sure 
But wouldn't you be better off ordering the nav pack sick gives you 90gb(i think) of hard disc space and better idrive function? I have 6 CD changer in my current e86 but I hardly used this. In fact, most of my car listening had been radio + favorite CD of the time and I found using normal CD player more then adequate. I actually got too lazy to keep on changing CD s and stopped using it all together in the last couple of years.

Yep I ordered it with the I-drive sat nav so looking forward to putting stuff on the hard drive, it's just I know how long it'll take me to get round to doing it so if I can chuck a few cd's in there it'll do for the time being.

Are you going for the radio cassette and 8 track option as well???
There should be a USB interface somewhere in the car where you can either download music to the hard disc or play straight from a memory stick
I'm surprised BMW are still offering CD changers as an option. Total waste of money
I wouldn't bother with a multi CD player!
We have one in the Audi and it's rarely used - of more use in that car is the SD card facility.
In the E89 the USB replaces that facility.
Ive got a 32gb thumbnail sized USB in mine and over 4k tunes - sort them with the I drive.
What more could you need?

The CD Changer is an optional but as others have said put it on the Hard Drive. You can easily put your MP3s on to a USB and load it. The CD player also reads MP3s and you also have the additional USB Port in the arm rest. Plus you can use your MP3 player. You have many options which all work well

Many thanks for the replies all, i'm a bit stuck in the dark ages
Keep reading about the armrest usb for the memory stick Angie, I saw it in the brochure but i'm sure when I looked at an e89 last year the guy said his was in the glovebox up on the right hand side? Anyway doesn't matter, just curious really.
Right, quick game of space invaders before work, you guys will be telling me that's out of date next.........honestly, this forum.... :roll:
If you go with the decent stereo option & the iDrive, there are 2 USB sockets.
One in the armrest, one tucked away at the edge of the glovebox.
