Digital Sound Processing (DSP).

Another enquiry from Ireland.....
How do i know if I have or can active DSP in my 2005 X5 M Sport?
Alternatively, if it does not come as standard can I install it? What's involved?
The entertainment system in the boot has the 6 CD Changer & Nav dvd/cd box.

Thanks Guys.

Re: Telephone Option no longer highlighted to be choosen?!

Yeah BlueTooth pairing failed and I've just been out in the car and notice now that the Telephone option has completely disappeared from the listing on the screen. I have a bad feeling about this! Anyone got any ideas as to what might be the cause or problem??

Newbie from Ireland - Looking to put in an Aux to listen to iphone music

Hello All, newbie here from Ireland! Just picked up a 2005 X5 M SPORT. In good general order, well kept, low milage, driving well. Overall I'm pretty pleased. Although, being a 2005, I'd really like to be in a position to play iphone music library through an AUX. It has an AUX in & out at the rear ...
