Installing AUX IN Adapter for iPod

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Accessory kit

Remove the volume control knob and locate the hole to insert the key to release the retaining spring by turning it: once released, disconnect the display connector. Then, remove the other two screws securing the tape player (near the two golden pins) and pull it out of its housing by disconnecting the corresponding connector. Connect the original wiring harness connector to the GTA kit wiring harness and the other end to the car stereo. Release the climate control buttons, remove the cup holder supports, the trim around the gear shift, the parking light button (and the screw underneath), and the air vents behind the tunnel. Remove the central tunnel trim and route the GTA kit cables to bring the Aux output to the glove compartment area of the central tunnel.
