I have a mini cooper with the Boost audio which is the same as the "Professional" Audio head unit in a BMW. I got the ipod interface fitted by the dealer. It plugs in on the back of the head unit and is routed into a special compartment. This is the easy bit.
The dealer must then recode the car to accept the new device. This takes quite a long time so they can charge quite a lot of labour. The grand total varies from £280 to £450 depending if the dealer charges the full hourly rate for the recoding (when the techie will probably be doing something else!). I'm afraid I've never heard of anyone recoding the car by any other method.
If I were you I'd have a look at one of these bluetooth audio receivers. You could pop it inside the armrest and plug it into the aux port and then play tunes from a bluetooth mobile? Or just plug the ipod into the aux port and make up a good playlist selection??
