Drop the CD changer and get the Ice>link from Dension. Not sure what is availabel in Europe but here in US you can Invision and few other DVD screen headrests which match with OEM leather. You can also add the TV in motion module later.

We can assist in both your iPod needs and video in motion. Take a look at this thread:

Deal finally done with my local stealer it’s taken all week – with 3 different BMW main franchise dealers and 2 leasing companies all competing for our business.

We will order on Monday for delivery on or around 1st July 2006 – when we want the cars and our current vehicles go back to the leasing company, we negotiated 13% on the pretty loaded X5 Le Mans and 9% on the 530d m Sport - nearly £86k of kit in total so discounts very important. Final specs are as detailed above but without service packs - getting excited already!

Some questions for all you X5’s already!

What are the best options for carrying cycles on the roof? (Don’t want tow bar don’t want slung over back)

Will I need to fit a tracker?

What i-pod kit do I need to maintain functionality of the CD changer?

Can I connect the digital TV to rear DVD players?

I think the Ipod your BMW kit allows you to keep the CD changer but would strongly suggest the Dension Ice Link. When installing my Ice Link, I asked the guys to keep the CD changer incase I wanted to reconnect it. Haven't needed the changer once.

You mean connecting the TV to the rear monitors right? If so, then there shouldn't be a problem with that.

Oh yeah, WELCOME to X5World and congrats on your purchase. You'll love the X.

The iPod your BMW kit replaces the CD Changer as well. CD Changers are quickly becoming obsolete.

Whoops, sorry, my bad.

I was planning on this mod, but which mounting spot is better--the rear or up front?

Since all the control is performed via the steering wheel/radio - iPod location is strictly a convenience issue when connecting or removing the iPod from the vehicle for synchronization.

I prefer the glove box or center console location so I don't have to go to the cargo area when I need to grab my iPod.
