A question about using an I Pod along with CD Changer

My question is: I want to install my I Pod (and have it charge too) but I'm reading that those set-up work through the changer port - problem is my car has a changer already, and the AUX port doesn't charge, nor control with tags on the stock head unit screen.

My car is 2005 MCS with H/K stereo.

What do I need to make this work? There are too many thread on this and none seem to cover my situation quite right...sorry if this has been answered - take it easy on me I'm new...

Thanks,

JB

You could use the Dension icelink lite quadlock for bmw
This will plug & play attach to the aux port but will also charge the ipod

You won't be able to control the ipod from the stereo though

Who needs a CD changer when you have an iPod? Take it out and sell it on eBay!

Looks like new units are running around $250 currently on ebay. Just due a search for a BMW 6 disc changer and watch what they sell for. For used units, it looks like you could probably get enough to pay for the iceLink.
