Well, in case you DO decide to replace the screen (and can find a buddy that can help with this!), here's a relly good write-up on the process...

Nah. I was in the same boat as you. Have aux, Sirius. The new units have CarPlay, direct wire dash cam, Bluetooth audio. Backup cam. And you can code with them. You can actually code in halo as DRL. You can’t even code that with Inpa.
But yea. I’m still on the fence as well. $700 is a lot for something I barely drive.

Truth is I don't really use the nav stuff that often, I use my phone for navigation, the unit is just a fancy radio really. So I'm gonna just leave it for now and think on it. Maybe an aftermarket nav with OEM-esque menu screens and such will pop up someday... Quote:
I can code with NCS proficiently and I like the process of doing so, so the unit doing the coding for me would actually be a drawback in my eyes I have my X5 coded perfectly how I want it right now in fact (set up basically to mirror my E39, high beam DRL's, no side parking lights at night, double blink hazards, etc). FWIW - you CAN code the angel eye DRL using PA Soft. That is the *one* thing you can't code with NCS because it wasn't a factory option. Still pretty sure I could find a way to make it work though, there are "flags" in the system for the angel eye bulbs, as well as option lines for what lights are used as DRL's. May need a custom code or something to be installed, but you can do that on these LCM's... Hmm that kind of makes me want to code on the angel eye DRL in PA Soft, then pull the module data with NCSexpert to see what changed in the coding Hmm..... |

In any case angel eye DRL's are not a feature I personally want so I'm probably done with coding the X5 Last edited by BimmerBreaker; 07-17-2019 at 01:00 PM. |

Honestly you are limited to your imagination. "There's an app for that". One of our members controls his smart home from his X5. He has the ability to set the climate control in his home, turn on welcome lights in front of his house and open the garage door from miles away.

Yeah but this is an X5, I don't need to set my home thermostat from it. That's "cool" sure but not something I'd ever want or use. Literally the only thing on that list I'd use is Bluetooth, and I have aux in already, so I'm just gonna buy a longer aux in cable and forget about it.
I have like, 8 BMW's that all need love and attention. If I go blowing my whole attention load all over the X5 the other cars get jealous. So no upgraded nav for the X5 at least for now. I had my E39 for almost a year before I bought it an aftermarket nav. And the E39 aftermarket nav does all that stuff too and yet I don't use ANY of it. So just further supports my thinking that I should spend that nav money elsewhere on the car... |

Level sensor just showed up! That was crazy fast, didn't even pay for the faster shipping method. Thanks FCP Now I'm gonna head to the shop to install that sucker... have one other thing to pick up for the X5 too while I'm out |
