2008 E70 iPod and LED question

Well I've just traded my E53 in for an 08 plate E70.

It doesn't have the USB port for connecting my iPod up, it does have a 6 disc CD changer in the glove box. What is the best way to connect my iPod up?

Also what bulbs/LED's are best for changing the angel eye yellow bulbs to white?

Anyone?

Spoke to the local BMW dealer who quoted me £680 :o to get the ipod interface fitted in place of the 6 disc changer, surely there must be a cheaper option to getting the ipod hooked up?

Think you might want to go for the Dension 500. Avtar has had it in his - drop him a PM but he may not reply immediately...

Think you might have the fibre optic malarkey... But not sure tho. :|

Have a look over at bimmerretrofit.com - you'll need to register to get the downloads - as they have the BMW Installation Manual for that mod/kit. It's a 2.5 hour job and depends upon what else you have in the vehicle. As Sanj suggested, there is a fibre optic link too, just to add to the fun!!

Sanj is indeed correct i have the dension which was fitted by Jason (B&W Autos) and it works great as well as letting you retain the 6 cd changer.
