Get the pioneer unit. It is much more reliable than the alpine. It is my understanding they are interchangable. Still expensive new from BMW.

BMW P/N 82-11-1-468-014.

Questions:

1) What is the consensus on the alpine CD changer in general?
2) Is installlation relatively easy? (I'm electronically challenged)
3) Does anyone here have one for sale? (would prefer to purchase from someone on the board)

Thanks again
