Teoretly yes.
You can buy MP3 changer box and install it on the place of your current CD player.
I just don't think it would be $$$ worthwile (spell??)
If you have a radio, and you don't whant to install a COmm system, you can find the same tech guy to pull a 'line-in' from your radio and you can feed that with one iPod or any other mp3 player, and get rid at all of that huge space eater on the bike's trunk.

I use an IPod and a Griffin ITrip transmitter. It transmitts the IPod signal to a vacant spot on the FM dial.

It may not be a perfect solution (No and then there is some interference) but it is cheap and works well for me.

IPod is so much better than CD's you will not want to fiddle with CD changers again.

Hi Dimitris,

The 2005 radios have an Auxiliary input plug on the back of the radio already. You can buy a plug from BMW that will extend this out to a place that you can plug in an MP3 player.

See this thread (http://www.bmwlt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4311) for more info and part numbers.
