You can add an Aux Input to your BMW! We believe that everyone should be free to listen to whatever they want – no more burnt CDs or cassette adapters. Our aux input kit works great for BMWs approximately 1999-2005, especially pre-2003 radios. You simply connect a cable to your factory radio and install a tiny module – Quidzel will be here to guide you as you start enjoying your music again!

    • Our aux input replaces your CD changer, if so equipped. Make sure that your CD changer wiring color and order match exactly to the following image, with the module’s silver stripe lined up with the brown wire. Plugging into the similar phone connector with different wiring order/polarity can damage the module!

    • (Note: please view the install video above to understand the installation. If this appears complex, seek the help of a professional car audio installer near you, who should be able to install this easily.)
    • Our pre-2003 aux input solution also works great for post-2003 cars that have had trouble with the factory aux input disconnecting. Our aux input will not disconnect whether you use a bluetooth dongle, a charger (use a ground loop isolator to minimize noise)
