Hi Everyone,

Last Week, I purchased a CPO 2011 128i and just realized that I have the base audio system which will not allow for USB audio playback from my iPhone 5. I have to use the Y cable and the sound quality is awful. There is a HiFi system that is available on some vehicles which has the combox and can play the audio just by hooking up the apple cable. Does anyone know if the head base head unit can be swapped out for the HiFi unit?

Thanks
