I have a damaged nav screen, and there's a new one on the way to my house. It looks easy enough to replace the screen, and while the unit is out of the car, I will be connecting an aux port (female) to the connector that is already in the car but is not being used. The connector is a flat, 3-pin, and should be all that I need to enable the aux mode -- if the videos on YouTube are correct. From what I am reading, I will have a 3.5mm female plug that I can plug my headphone jack of my android phone into. If this is true, then I will only need bluetooth for hands-free phone services. It should all be very seamless. I have the MK4 system, but this does not matter for the aux jack. I have a dead CD changer that gives me some capability that I do not fully appreciate, but I am learning that this capability might be leveraged on my E36 to give me more audio options than I have now.

I don't "require" any particular splash screen, I just expected the ///M screen to come up, but it does not. I have the 3D View and the screen says SW4-1/00, instead of SW4-1/50 when it had the v25 loaded. I'm not going to reload the firmware just to get the splash screen, unless firmware comes on the new map CDs.
