WTB - E46 Aux input for factory stereo

Recommended Posts

You could get a non-OEM cord to plug in the back for like $10 shipped off Ebay.

I'm sure you already know to check that your radio is compatible.

I recently bought a cord off Ebay for my 03 Head Unit, but it just will not work.
Some sources say they might not work with "Tape" HUs (really?) so you may want to look into that as well if applicable

Good to know! Yes I was wondering about the tape HU compatibility as everything I see mentions CD HU 09/02 on wards. 

Your head unit sounds the same as mine. Business tape..

The factory aux cable and quality copies  has a capacitor and a couple of resistors added to the lead. This in turn will tell the head unit that it has an aux connected and will appear as a option when selected.
