First, let me show the display on the instrument panel, and the ipod U2.

How do you get the OBC display in the radio screen? Is that a v26 feature? Also, what is the mail icon in the bottom right corner?

the sketch of cables. I found some mistake in the original instruction of BMW aux kit. Maybee just with my X5.

It is a very normal setup in the menu. My prevenient X5 3.0 in 2003 has this function too.

Use a normal audio cable, you can find it from the computer market(for multimedia speaker). I choose a 3.5mm stereo plug--->3.5mm stereo socket, if difficult to find that, you can use the 3.5mm plug--->3.5mm plug type as
the one with green plugs in the photo.

ok, I can take some photos of the menu setup later. The differnce is when you press "mode", "AUX" will display after such as CD, FM, tape.
