Bluetooth/iPod for 07 BMW M6

    I'm looking to get iPod integration and Bluetooth preparation installed in my 07 BMW M6 (E63) but I'm not sure what equipment I should be purchasing. I'd like complete integration so I can use idrive to select tracks and phone numbers etc. I think I want a dension gateway 500 with the BTA1500 add on but I'm unsure about what, if any, additional coding needs to be done. The car has a factory fitted cd changer which I have no use for. Ideally I'd like to purchase from a supplier in Kildare or Dublin, but could go further. I'm not to be trusted at installing things either :) If anyone can help me out I'd really appreciate it.

    If you have the cd-changer in the glovebox already, then no coding will be needed for the Dension Gateway 500.
    I don't think the BT module needs to be coded in.

    I can't believe that a 5 year old M6 doesn't have factory fitted bluetooth or an aux port as standard. :eek:

    I was surprised by the lack of bluetooth alright. The guy who originally bought the car only added a 6 cd changer. It does have an aux port, but what I actually want is an integrated thinger that lets me browse the ipod using idrive. The aux port is fine, but it's more fiddly to change album while I'm sitting at the lights.

    Awesome. Any ideas where to buy/get it fitted? JDM in Bray no longer sell them and I'd prefer an installer to do the work - I'm not to be trusted at anything hardware :)
