i mentioned this on a previouse post, so heres how i did it.
its so simple, the best cable to use costs a pound from ebay including posting.
it will only work this way if your h.u has a rear aux port.
once its all connected, b&m will only work when in aux mode.
if the phone rings, it will not ring out through your speakers unless in aux mode!
get your self one of these or somthing with a 3.5mm jack (earphones work but are hard to strip the cable and cause interference/crackeling!

-cut the cable in half, you only need one half!
-strip the outer insolation of the cable to expose the inner cores
-seperate the earth and the black and red core
should look like this:
then connect the red to left, black to right and the other one to earth (middle one).
i just pushed the striped ends in the plug, not particuly good practice, but as long as you have a good connection it shouldnt cause problems.
the correct way to do it would be either to get the female housing of the mini iso plug and then connect the aux cable to that, or cut the plug off and connector block or crimp the cables!
plug into the headunits rear aux and all done.
