Installation

It is recommended that installation only be performed by a qualiﬁed professional. Beware

of sharp edges to avoid injury and exercise caution when removing trims as they may

break.The module should be placed at an accessible location to allow an AUX cable to

be connected, such as in the glove box, the center console or under the front seat. Ensure

the mounting location does not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle (i.e.. near

steering, foot pedal controls, parking brake or shifter).

1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install

the unit.

2. Disconnect both battery terminals.These cables must be disconnected during

installation to ensure proper initialization of the interface module when it is connected.

NOTE: On some vehicles you will need to access the trunk area.

Locate your CD Changer harness as follows;

In most vehicles this will be located in the trunk on the left hand side (driver’s).

BMW X3 – Harness is located underneath carpeting under the center console.

BMW Z4 – Harness is located between the seats, underneath subwoofer.

Mini Cooper/Cooper S – Harness is located on the right hand side (passenger)

of the trunk area.

4. DSP Integration – To see if your vehicle

has DSP look for a bare metal coax cable

and a 3-pin connector. If you don’t ﬁnd

a coax cable and ﬁnd a 6-pin connector

along with a 3-pin connector, your vehicle

doesn’t need this DSP kit.

NOTE: If your vehicle has Digital Signal

Processing (DSP), the purchase

of a RFIPOD-BMW-DSP kit may

be necessary..

5. Remove carpet and side cover to gain

access to CD Changer BUS harness.

If CD Changer is present, it will need

to be disconnected and/or removed.

IMPORTANT: Before connecting the interface harness, ensure that the 3 pin connector

on the vehicle harness does not have a brown wire in the middle

(pre-wire for phone). Proper connection is to a 3 pin connector with

the brown wire to the side (pre-wire for CD). Incorrect connection will

result in damage to the interface and not covered by warranty.

6. Locate both the 3-pin & 6-pin connectors in the trunk area. If the CD Changer is

present, disconnect the cables and set aside. If no CD Changer is present, the cables will

be bundled and tucked away in the rear trunk area.

IMPORTANT: Some vehicles will have the CD Changer harness in a protective sheath

which may make it more difﬁcult to ﬁnd.Vehicles sold outside the USA

may not be pre-wired.

7. Connect both 3-pin and 6-pin harnesses from the vehicle to the interface harness.

8. Fold down rear seats (if applicable) and route the interface harness to the rear seat

bottom cushion.

9. Remove bottom seat cushion by lifting up and route harness underneath.

Installation

10. Route the remainder of the interface harness in the best possible manner (e.g. under

the door sill or under the drivers seat) and connect it to the Vehicle connector on the

interface module.

NOTE: When routing harnesses or cables, ensure they are secured away from sharp

edges and moving parts by the use of cable ties.

11. Connect the iPod cable to the interface module and carefully route it to the location

where the iPod will be mounted (such as the glove box or center console).

12. Verify that all connections have been properly made.

13. Reconnect the vehicle battery, turn the ignition on and test the unit. Use the ‘Text

Display Settings’ proceedure below to make ﬁnal adjustments before reinstalling any

panels/trim.

Text Display Settings

Make sure to select the appropriate text display setting during the initial setup of this kit.

To conﬁgure text display on BMW radios, press DISC 6 then select a Track number that

corresponds to the designated display from the chart below.

Operation

ConnectingYour iPod

Simply connect your iPod to the interface cable coming from the interface

module.The interface automatically charges the battery of the iPod when

connected and the key is in the ACC/ON position.The charging icon will

appear on the upper right corner of the iPod screen to indicate charging.

NOTE: We recommend disconnecting your iPod when not in use or when the vehicle is

turned off.

Charging Icon

Operation

iPod Hierarchy

By default, the interface creates a Playlist having a name that is the same

as the name of the iPod.This Playlist is the very ﬁrst on the list of

Playlists shown while browsing in Playlist mode.This Playlist contains all

the songs on the iPod. Once a Playlist is active an Artist may be selected

within that Playlist using the Artist Mode. Albums by the selected Artist

and within the selected Playlist may be selected in Album Mode.

“ALL ARTIST” and “ALL ALBUM” designate all available content in

those categories.

Operating Controls

Press the MODE button to access the interface and its features. Pressing this button

repeatedly will cycle through sources present (internal CD if present, followed by external)

in your vehicle.When the iPod audio source is active (displayed as DISC 5,Track 1), use the

TRACK button to select next/previous song.

Auxiliary Audio Source

Connecting

The interface is equipped with a 1/8” AUX jack input to connect an auxiliary device, such as

an MP3 player, DVD player or other audio source.

NOTE: We recommend to only connect to the interface module when the vehicle ignition

is turned off.

Connect into the interface module from

your auxiliary device with a cable that

has a 1/8” mini stereo jack (not included).

Selecting AUX Input

To access the AUX audio source, select DISC 5, Track 2 or Preset 5, Channel 2 (depending

on the radio model).

AUX audio source settings

The auxiliary input has settings for Gain (volume), Bass, Mid and Treble for optimizing sound.

Gain (Volume) should be adjusted if the audio level from the auxiliary device is too low or

too high. If you hear distorted audio while playing the auxiliary device, you need to reduce (-)

the gain. If you notice that the audio is too quiet then the gain setting should be increased (+).

The default setting for gain is “68” and may be adjusted in increments between 01-99.

Bass, Mid and Treble default settings are “50” and can be adjusted between 01-99 to

compensate for the acoustic presets of the radio.

Making the adjustments

While listening to the auxiliary device, use the DISC or PRESET buttons (depending on the

radio model) to move between the settings as follows;

DISC (PRESET)-1 for Gain (Volume) DISC (PRESET)-2 for Bass EQ

DISC (PRESET)-3 for Mid EQ DISC (PRESET)-4 for Treble EQ

Then use the TUNE or SEEK button to adjust the setting (depending on the radio model

the TUNE knob can be rotated for this function).

NOTE: If you are using an auxiliary device that is using the vehicle’s power source and not its

own battery, you may have to use a GROUND-LOOP isolator to avoid engine and

grounding

noise.
