I have it on my 2005 4.4 with DSP. I recently added wifi hotspot from tmobile (connects to the OBD port) as I got tired of always teethering to my iphone. Iphone doesn't have automatic connection to android devices - have to open the Personal Hot Spot tab in settings. The tmobile hotspot autoconnects to the avin unit. My wife is jealous my 2005 X5 has more multimedia features than her 2016 X6M .
Careful with that OBD connection. I have a GPS device from my insurance company connected to the OBD II port and if I don't drive the car monthly, the battery can discharge to a state that t needs a jump just to start the engine. The GPS device is always on so that I can locate my car with an App.
