four.8 - congratulations on the install. It seems that this is the unit that will refresh the E53 and bring it into the XXI century!!!

As far as GPS antenna and the mike - unless the original GPS antenna is an active unit (has internal circuitry for signal processing), you should be able to use OE antenna but you would need to route the cabling from the rear of the car to the front... Might not be a feasible idea.

The mike - same with the mike, if you trace the mike wiring in the harness and tap into it, you can feed factory microphone into the N6... Or, route the N6 mike to the factory location - depending on the direction of the N6 mike, it might work...

In OBD - what else can you see other than the coolant info? RPMs? Oil temp?

Even though I do not need this unit, I am getting just as excited as the rest of the guys!!!

How about changing the image of the 1er to an X? I bet it is just a little image file in the firmware... oh, and if you could match color of the X to your actual car's color!!!

I am getting carried away here...
