Default Cool RNS-E MOD: Adding auxiliary input and USB charging socket

I know, I know sometimes you're dreaming of BMW. Only sometimes though.

Well, you'll be pleased to know you can install USB and AUX socket from latest BMW cars, since Audi do not produce these dual sockets yet.

The 3.5mm jack is connected to AUX input on the back of RNS-E and USB is connected to the source of 5V to provide charging for your phone. You can now listen to music from your phone and even charge it if you want to. There are plenty of cables in eBay which connect to your phone or iPad with one end. Another end forks to 3.5mm jack and USB socket for charging. You put your phone into documentation shelve or into your door pocket and that's it.

I know there are not so many folks here with RNS-E here, but if you're interested in this mod I will provide more detail on request.

Pictures!!!

Had it in the 335D. If anyone wants to order this do it via BMMINIPARTS.CO.UK, cheaper then your dealer.

Now I've had my eyes done and can't drive for a few days, I was thinking of lending it to Serge (how do you spell that?) for a few days to see what it came back with.

That boy is an electronics genius!
