Having the factory navigation takes more installation since you will need to run a harness from the front to the rear of the X5 where all your equipment is now. The navigation screen up front is simply a display and everything happens in the rear under the rear spare tire panel. It will take a few hours but there are instructional videos on the web that provide a understanding of how to do it. Honestly you will have 5 to 8 hours on installation but so worth it in the end.

I have been reading a few more threads on this topic and want to see if my understanding is correct:
If I want to connect an Android stereo to my DSP equipped X5, I will need the iBus connector and license. But, if I am
NOT planning on hooking up the stock navigation to the new stereo (since from what I saw they all come with their own GPS module and I will be using other apps anyway), will I be able to hook it up
without the 6m harness going into the truck? As in, is it a plug-and-play in the front?
