I plan on doing an update to that thread with a review now that I have lived with the unit for a while.
But, after rooting my phone (stupid Sprint) and tethering the unit... the wife and I absolutely love the Avant 2. We were watching youtube on the way home from Houston the last time we went out of town, and google maps works flawlessly. Have tried out the BMWhat app but not enough to really give any review of it... I can say it works, but what it will allow you to code or read I don't know yet as I am still not sure if I want to pony up the $50+ for the full version.
There are a couple gripes... most of which can be read in the install thread. Needing to trim the front bezel was a big one... and the reverse cam I bought along with the unit was NOT for an e53 even though it is sold as such. I had to do much modification to get that to work. Though it does work very well now.
Anyway, let me know if you have any specific questions and I'd be happy to answer if I can.
