[QUOTE="anarkhy 17, post: 40495"] This is due to the fact that BMW only offers RCA and video adaption ports on the "base radio system" as you say, Since all of the power and jacks are used in the upgraded systems it would be nearly impossible to do, while still attaining the non-FM radio transmitter sound quality. The FM radio transmitter is not bad at all I have Sirius Satelite Radio and since the were no RCA ports on the factory stereo they used an FM transmitter and the sound is "Solid" :). Basicly how this works is you have a little box in between the Stereo and the antenna(inside the dashboard obviously) and another wire comes out of the box(it's a stereo wire) this wire usually come out of the dash where you plug it into anything you want to. the trick is if the box is activated (there are usually 4 choices 89.1, 89.3, 89.5, and 89.7) which ever one its set at, if you activate that station on your regular stereo the FM-transmitter box will recognize it and play the signal being transfered through the stereo wire instead of playing the music being transfered through the antenna. The downside of this is that if you have an iPod, You don't get the "Seemless intergration" you do with the BMW firewire in the glovebox, like you can't get the song name on the dashboard. [/QUOTE]
