Getting Aux, do i need to program it by the BMW dealer?
Looking to buy this: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-au ... 2110142174
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 .

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