*** Important for 2005+ BMW X3; 2006+ BMW Z4:
BMW X3 (E83) production date 09/2005 and up with DSP without navigation, CD changer and iPod connection
BMW Z4 (E85) production date 02/2006 and up with DSP without navigation, CD changer and iPod connection
BMW Z4 (E86) coupe production date 05/2006 and up with DSP without navigation, CD changer and iPod connection
These vehicles above do not require GROM DSP adapter (use analog DSP) and can be installed at stereo or boot, but the audio part will not work until the stereo is programmed (retrofitted) to accept CD Changer (BMW calls it “vehicle order”). Please contact your local BMW dealer and ask them to retrofit the stereo to accept CD changer
If your car falls into the above range and has Navigation, CD changer or iPod connection, GROM will work without any reprogramming
