I went to a local custom audio shop and they informed me that the BMW radio isn't a simple RCA audio-in in the back of the head unit. They said they could order a special adapter from BMW (or SONY, I can't recall) and they could wire it to come out into the passenger compartment w/ a mini stereo plug. The adapter is $90 and the installation is $45/hr. They said they could do the job for about $150 total. I might have them do it after the holidays because I like the head unit that's in there and $150 wouldn't buy that great of a different head unit anyway.
