2007 Z4M, where is audio-in jack
Hi everyone,
I've just acquired a Z4M. It's got the nav system. It has aux as a input source but where might I find the audio in jack? I suspect it doesn't have one. I see an after market kit. any recommendations? |

If installed from the factory it's under the climate controls above the ashtray.
If installed afterwards (an accessory kit is/was available) it'll likely be in the ashtray.

'06's don't have one, but '07's & '08's came with it as standard, as shown above. At least in the NA market, not sure about ROW.

I thought this too - my '07 Z4MR had it installed factory. But then I got my '06 Z4MC and it's also definitely factory installed under the dash and not in the ash tray. Must've been a running change.

I still need to retrofit this plug someplace. I think this may be the only reason I wish I had an 07-08 rather than 06 haha.

In speaking to mtnbkr I believe his had AUX-in in the factory position as well, and our cars have sequential VINs and both 2006's.

Just today I was out cruising with SiriusXM streaming through my iPhone, connected to the aux port via a Lightning-to-aux cable. I ASSume the aux cable has to contain a DAC - that's really the only place the digital-to-analog conversion could be taking place. I have the streaming quality set to max in the Sirus app, which is supposedly 320kbps - or about 6-8x better than the. satellite stream. It sounds fantastic. Unlimited data on my T-Mo plan so no worries there. Important to me because I live in the sticks, and there are literally zero FM stations within range that I want to listen to. This is the cable I'm using - $18.49 from Amazon: https://goo.gl/MRPTDo

I notice the same music on a MP3-CD has a deeper more rich sound than the same MP3 on my iPod with the AUX cable. The bass is no where near as present.

Hopefully it will keep working for you. I have 2 similar gizmos at home that are charging docs with 3.5 mm jacks. Thought one of them broke, but on a whim I tried the other. Same thing. Apparently Apple updated something in iOS 12.x. Now my iPod plays for 10 seconds and then launches into fast forward. Edit: Update: Just updated from iOS 12.1.1 to 12.1.4, and now my docks work again. Beware iOS 12.1.1.

The only thing I have disliked about the car is not having a Bluetooth or aux port. What do you guys recommend for aftermarket options?
