Filth 5 Report post Posted June 19, 2014 Hi Guys, As per the title, has anyone done this? I have the screen display in my car and wondering how to hook up a AUX cable to play from my iPad? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twisted 45 Report post Posted June 19, 2014 I tapped in to the tape feed at the back of the head unit. Wires were yellow and blue from memory. Volume level is a bit lower, however that can be boosted with a line driver if your keen. Google e38 aux cables. Think that's how I found it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think that's how I found it Did this in my e36, found the quality to not be as good as it sounds like runs though a different amp or filter.... could have just been my wiring however..... Best bet in my opinion is an Anycar or Grom system. They use the cd changer port, cost about $100 - $150 can get ones that do bluetooth as well.

I primarily listen to Pandora on it. so it's somewhat of a mixed bag. mostly ok, as I usually listen to rap which seems less susceptible to poor quality compared to metal.

Eagle 1662 Report post Posted June 21, 2014 Can't say i had anything to compare it to but it sounded fine to me. Install was easy as its just plug and play and route the aux cable. I remember something about E39's with 16:9 display having aux cable which you can just buy and plug into the back of monitor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
