Just like me, I'm in a family with 7 cars that none of them have an aux-in spots or cassette players… I personally use an FM transmitter, but it is annoying with the static.

What you could do is buy an aftermarket stereo, and there are some really nice ones out there for $30-$50 that'll have aux cable capabilities or even a USB connection. The problem with these stereos is that the wiring is pretty tricky. I have always debated doing an installation myself but I'm so afraid to run into a big problem because I know of multiple friends who think a 30 minute installation takes up an entire day. If you have money to spend, you can hire someone to do all the wiring for you and they usually charge like $50 or so because they're good at it, and that might be worth it just because they won't screw up any of your electronics, and if they do, they'd fix it for you.

From the deck is no. It would be better just to upgrade the deck that is iphone capable.

Your best bet is to upgrade to an aftermarket deck.

You can retain any steering wheel controls with an adapter, along with much better sound (If you don't buy a cheap one), and much better technology. (Bluetooth, AUX, Pre-Outs, etc)

Or sometimes you can find a vehicle harness that adds an input to the stock stereo, but its gonna be more expensive than a decent deck after all is said and done.

  • Where will the iphone adaptor fit in my BMW? I have a BMW 116D Sport. Its a 2009 (59) plate. The steering wheel has a load of buttons for a bluetooth mobile phone connection. I was planning on buying an iphone 4/4S SnapIn adaptor so I can use my phone. The only thing is I've seen the adaptors and I can't see where it would fit in my car. In many other BMWs there's a space near the handbrake where an adaptor can fit nicely. Mine doesn't have this. Does anyone know where it would go?
  • Radio broken in my BMW+want to play iphone songs? I can't see the radio stations in my bmw because the lcd display lights are broken. I want to fix this. I also want to be able to play my iphone songs. There's currently no way to input my iphone in the car. Is there something I can buy that would allow me to do this? I don't know much about tech, is a car stereo what I need?
