been using a connector that works through the radio and the quality is very poor, any ideas or if there a specific one for the RR?

Which model year ?
There are different solutions

Its a 2005 mate

Does it have touch screen sat nav ?

Does so anything out there for it?

I don't think so but someone else may know........

It's relatively straight forward in a couple of different ways for pre-2006 older non-touch screen vehicles with BMW electronics and the post 2007 cars come with an aux input. For the ones in the middle I don't know if anyone ever figured it out.

Yes. At the moment the only thing avail is the OEM LR Audio Connectivity Module (ACM) - which is actually listed by LR as only fitting the facelift-dash models. It does fit and work on the older models just fune, but you have to remove the upper dash panel to access the wiring at the back of the head unit. The newer models have the wiring extended to behind the glove box so it's more or less plug n play.

It's not a lot of work: dis- and re-assembly of the dash can be done in under an hour. There was a thread on all of this (more than one actually) a while back with descriptions. There is also a vid on YouTube on how to remove the dash panel.

All that said, there may be an alternative to the OEM ACM available in the not too distant future. Stay tuned...

thanks for the in depth reply very handy

what is the for the non touch screen sat nav?

The non-touch sat nav is BMW electronics - need to upgrade the radio module from a BM53 to a BM54 and then you can buy a kit from a main dealer that adds pins to one of the connectors and an extra bit of cable in the boot to provide an aux input. Then run a cable through to the centre console & pover from inside the arm rest.

Some details here -

I bought a BM54 from eBay then sold the BM53 for not that much less. It's a very quick swap of the radio modules in the boot the connector pins were a little more fiddly but not too hard.

For an iPod, the best solution is an intravee:
