He is a genuine guy, was formerly a BMW employee at the Mini factory, and still does satnav installs for his local BMW dealer. He installed a Mk4 unit for me at his home in Birmingham. He was recommended on BMW car magazine forum in the UK having done a few installs for forum members which is how I discovered him.
Your 2004 car would have had a Mk4 from the factory. He also recommended I went for the Mk3 (maybe he has a stock of them?), but I went for the Mk4 and I suggest you do the same. The Mk4 is still supported with software upgrades. BMW gave up on upgrading the Mk3 firmware in autumn 2003.
You'll have to decide if it is worth bothering.
