My 2005 X5 Aftermarket Radio Install Thread

[semcoinc]

Hi X5only,

Yes that is a phenomenal stroke of luck!

I gave Eonon a ration of grief when I wanted to get an upgrade from them for my pathetic 1GB RAM GA6166. I finished my rant by reminding them that anyone that was in my vehicle would see the pathetic performance and have their logo front and center of their unit.

They did not have any upgrade option to offer me and did not support or condone my move to the Witson PX5 4GB board.

Glad to hear that they are making you an accommodation.

Mike

Hi X5only, I have an 03 4.6is with factory dsp and navigation. Do you know which accessories I need to purchase along with GA9201A?

Also, is there an hdtv tuner we can purchase to go along with the head unit?

GA9201A is for the E39 5 series. For the X5, you need to buy the GA9166A.

The full package eventually will give me 360 degree overhead view for parking.

I am very intrested to have the 360 degree overhead view on my head unit allso
And it's very similiar to your system with exact the same connections.

If I am not mistaken you need at least 4 cameras ( front , rear and 2x mirror ) to make this work. But the unit has only one camera input. How will this work ? Are u planning to buy another module to connect the cameras to and then feed it to the system ?

If yes. Can the system control this module by touchscreen ( for switching between cameras )

I remember that u mentioned that the software for the 360 overhed was build in to the system. Is this a app? If yes were can i get it

Please let me now how this all works

Thank u so much

Its on seicane's site and the radio controls it. Follow the link to the radio I have on seicane's site. The link is on the first page I think of my site.

Their page shows how it works.

Wife's gone right now is the E53 so I can't go thru it to get each step.

The best I remember I had to paid the Bluetooth connector to the stereo after plugging it in and then run torque. Inside the settings section of torque it had a place to pick the adapter but its been awhile since I used it.
