Might be able to get a alpine > universal adaptor and universal > BMW adaptor from Repco or similar shops.

If it is the genuine BMW Alpine MP3 changer, it just plugs in.

Anything else will need a protocol converter to change from Alpine CD-changer-control language to BMW CD-changer-control language

its not the bmw alpine player, just a standard alpine unit it, has a single round plug.

where would i be able to get a Alpine CD-changer-control language to BMW CD-changer-control language unit?

or is there a more common name for it

Go to Pauls Audio (30 Fitzgerald Ave), they know everything .

Google "BMW Alpine interface" and you find pages like this one:

had little luck on this subject. The website jochen recommended seems to be very good but... they dont seem to ship outside the us, has anybody had luck getting around this,

also checked with autosound and pauls audio and they both say that it cant be done....

the items are easy but getting them is not. so next time maybe look at a different player.

regardless of what happens, cheers for all the help given.
