Alpine Upgrade and iPod kit

I decided I needed to listen to more music whilst driving to help me relax. However as you all know the standard music setup in the e92 is not impressive. So I got in touch with Anneka who arranged for the Alpine Upgrade and ipod kit to be fitted to my car at my local Sytner (Solihull). Whilst in I had the KDS wheel alignment performed also - I wasn't really suffering from any issues but I thought it wise given that I'd had the wheels off several times for ditching run flats etc last year.

Thumbs up to Anneka who arranged for a great fitted price for all work.

Collected the car yesterday and I am totally impressed with the Alpine kit, the sound is so much richer, a true upgrade.

The wheel alignment seems spot on - however the steering wheel is slightly misaligned now, however the dealer will sort this tomorrow whilst I wait.

I do still need to test the ipod kit, a friend will do this for me today as unfortunately and rather embarassingly I currently don't own an ipod.

It was a pleasure helping you, I'm glad it all went well! It was an awesome deal (even I was impressed!).

Re: iPod, update it regularly to get the best out of it and don't ditch the radio completely (they have new music first before itunes do )

Hi,

I have a e90 320d
Does the ipod kit allow you to see the track that is selected or being played?

Sure does (via the Nav screen).
