Can I convert my stereo head unit (non I control) to USB?

Karmann · 03-21-2011, 06:38 PM

Hi all

Probably a really silly question but i have a 2006 320d (non st nav/i control) and really miss not having a usb input so i can store my music on a memory stick. Is there any way of upgrading the stock professional head unit to take USB from a lead say in the glovebox etc or would I have to look at an aftermarket head unit? Alternatively do any of the later non sat nav/I control models have a usb input so that I could try and sorce a head unit from one of them to retrofit?
Many thanks

Does yours have Bluetooth? If not parrot do a handsfree kit that has iPod and USB connection for playing music.

I've got bluetooth and also wondered if I could fit the USB option to my prof stereo?
