Just bought an x5 and wondering if it has the wiring for the cd changer in it?

Year?  Exact model? Audio/Nav option fitted?

Some years and versions definitely had the loom in place even if no changer fitted.

Have a look in the near side rear cubby hole for a pair of small connectors.  I think one is power (two pin) and one audio/control/data bus (6-pin - I think).  It's been a while since I had mine.  I think both plugs are white ???  :-[

In that case it almost certainly does.

It has headrest mounted tv's and a single disc dvd player in the boot, would they have used the connectors for the autochanger for this or are my cables likely to be still there in the boot?

Can anyone help on this subject? Really don't fancy paying bmw dealer/stealer prices to fit an autochanger. On the left hand side rear of the car there is bottom upwards..... dvd player for rear seats,  dvd drive for sat nav and then on top of that there is a silver metallic box with bms part numbers on

I think the silver box is the bluetooth module.
