This is a rather old thread but I was wondering if the following concept would work or not:

Pre-requisites (things I already have)

E53 with factory nav (upgraded to MK-4) and 16:9 monitor
Analog/digital TV Module with AV input

things that I thought could work:

connect a laptop computer (or some other car appropriate computer, I think full size tower would not work) to the monitor via AV input as at the beginning of this thread;

use the RF mouse and portable/compact keyboard and

use a touch pad from this place Touch Screen Panels - Accessories - Car Electronics

to obtain the touchscreen ability.

This is just a rough idea at this moment, so I was wondering what the esteemed members of this forum think - will it work?

Thanks...

PS. Also, has anyone had any experience with the CP600BMW ( Maintronic: CP600BMW) ? Seems that it is a simple and very realistic solution to the MP3 player in place of the factory CD changer.
