Yes, I will buy it from OB. But I can wait. No stress OB, just so you know.
It is a bargain for me since this covid-19 makes SEK Worth nothing. Yoday you have to pay 10 SEK for 1 US$. Then add 25% VAT and customs fee!
I hope you guys manage through this crazy time. Me myself are IT-Consultant so covid-19 dont bother me that much. Network and computers have to run anyway. Take care, and when u ready OB, we make the arrangements for shipping.

I am assuming your X5 is LHD? As mentioned, brand new, never installed. Including today, it has been out of the box twice. Here are a couple of pictures of it. It will be heading your way.

I would guess the volume and tuning knobs are reversed but I really don't know. There is an option for RHD but I can't really say what the differences are.

OK!

One last thing to consider, since this one was a US destination the radio band may not be correct by default, you will need to adjust the settings to your frequencies for Finland. Easily done I suppose, there is not a separate device for worldwide delivery?

I wondered that too. I don't know if it would be worth the enginnering to swap the knobs - most everything else we get here is identical to LHD - except the actual steering wheel and pedal position etc!

For example, on most (Japanese etc.) cars in NZ, the left stalk is headlight, wipers etc. and the indicators etc. are on the right stalk. On Euro cars, the stalks are reversed, i.e. the indicators are on the left... I've gotten pretty good at doing the mind-swap as I jump from my BMW (LHD stalks), my daughter's VW Golf (LHD stalks) and the wife's Mazda (RHD stalks). On rare occasions, I'll pull up to an intersection in my wife's Mazda and turn on the wipers....

Manual transmission Euro cars can be a handful to drive around town, given the same hand is required for both gear shifting and operating the indicator stalk….

Some Euro cars here even still have the centre console layout from the LHD version, putting the park brake handle over next to the passenger (left) seat!!!

My wife are from Thailand. She have a RHD Honda we use when we go there. They drive on the left side. Imagine me coming from a right side traffic land and used to drive a LHD car . I will spare u the rest! Hahahahaha….
