Got it...I am in Auckland, so not possible to have a look. Is it possible for you to send me a pic of the eject box plate and the part no. ? Thanks

yup, I also have an eject box pre-installed but the connector is not compatible with the new iphone snap in adapters available with BMW NZ. If your eject box looks like attached pic, I will be interested. The idea is to remove the current eject box (designed for BMW Motorola Phone) and change to the universal one, then add a iPhone snap in adapter. Your car may have the steering controls but does it have the bluetooth unit installed? it should be a box in the left side of the boot behind the liner trim. If you don't see a box and don't see any wiring connectors as per attached pic, it would mean that your vehicle is not prewired for B/T unit.

As I understand, there is no 'Japanese Phone Module' in the car. All that the cradle does is charge your phone and connect it to the external antenna. To get the phone connected through the audio is to get a full bluetooth retrofitting done. Some of the vehicles come with a bluetooth prep wiring (behind a small opening in the boot liner on the left of the boot). So, there are only two ways to get your phone going through the audio system are: 1. get the original B/T kit and get it fitted (also requires recoding by the dealer) 2. get a third party solution like Dension Gateway.... So, does the eject box connect with the snap in adapter and charge your iphone 4?? If so, I would be keen to see some pics ... the bluetooth dongle is no use... Cheers

Hi I have recently got a 2004 530i that comes with a Japan standard Phone Eject Box. Is there a away to change it so that I can use a NZ Standard Eject box with iphone snap-in adapter ? The snap in adapter i saw at the dealership has a very different connector than what is in the car ...Has anyone changed the eject box in NZ on a Japanese E60?
