need advice on addons before I purchase -

[brvheart]

I was looking to do a few addons for my 05 X3 -

Alarm, tint, iPod integration and Angel eyes, GPS

Now the alarm I was going to get from BMW since it is pre-wired for it, first I was quoted $379 installed, called today to make the appointment - I was told $550 installed, so I thought what about after market? What are you thoughts on after market alarms?

Tint - no brainer

iPod -

I am considering the Dice unit sine it is cheaper than the $387 I was quoted for a Aux port in the glove box from BMW shop here - I know there is a long debate in ipod integration so if you want to comment on that feel free, if not I am back to reading all the other threads at 5 different forums

Angel Eyes to replace the Halogens I have -

Pros/Cons, ease, - I am rather new to this but know that I much better like the look (Physical to the car as well as light output) so I would am really after the "look" of the newer BMW headlights - again new to this and any info would be fabulous.

GPS - of course this will not be a integrated to the vehicle - just a portable unit - currently looking at the Nextar Q4-02 - anyone have a good suggestion for a GPS that you have had luck or experience with?
