I just bought a 2008 R52 and the owner gave me a La power blue tooth adapter. The install looked pretty straight forward but when I pulled my HK radio the stock harness doesnt have the same pin locations as the harness that came with the adapter. There is a Ipod adapter already wired in that looks like it's an original bmw part and goes to an old school ipod plug in the glove box. Has anyone had any luck with fitting a bluetooth adapter to a HK radio before. Thanks for any help.

 

Never mind. I figured it out. I needed to unplug the ipod adapter that was installed and now it all works perfectly.

 

If you've got the old 30 pin Apple adapter already hooked up to the stereo, then try this:


My R53 had the old adapter that was routed in to the glovebox. I put this little gizmo on it, connected my iPhone, and it worked like a charm.
