Not worth it IMO...get your fav. flavor stick-on navi, or you could replace head unit with an after market unit like the Pioner AVICZ1 or alternative.
FWIW, my M has OEM navi. and I still use the Garmin Nuvi when I go on long trips - the BMW system is archaic. |
Thanks but this is all pre facelift stuff...
I have wiring already in the 05 for the Nav system no? I understood that it was already "prewired" for nav.
It has to be as most of the items in the above installation are alreaduy present on my vehicle. iE Sat radio, VCF, CD changer, and there is a blue connector in the back that looks a lot like the one pictured in the items above.
Has anyone added nave to an 04-06 X5? judging by what I have seen on Ebay I am only looking at less than 1000.oo for the head unit and the dvd drive. IF I am preiwred, which I am sure it is. Then Al I need ( I'm thinking ) is a gps tap to an antenna, and speed detection correct?
Now that i think of it, BMW assist lady the other day told me exactly where I was and how fast I was driving.. she wouldn;t have known thins unless she had a GPS read on me so I know the basic compnents are already present...
Anyone want to shed a little light on the subject?
Thanx...
