If you're going for an in-dash, check out Pinoeer's Avic Z1. Just released this Spring, with Bluetooth phone handsfree, Hard drive for music/ mp3s, touch-screen and lots more. Full 7" screen would fill out the double-DIN install more than a 6.5", too. Retails around $2000, but can be found for $1500-1600 (rear cam +$150). Given the amount of work to get one of these units in, the difference in cost is minimal, for a lot more features than the D1.
Check out current models here. |

LemansX5, thanks! that exactly what i was looking for....
Mindfull, i think your right, theres so much room the 7" would probably be the best fit.... Or maybe i should just be patient and get an x5 with navi.... I want silver with grey interior, sport package and navi. I'd prefer an '03.... |

The navigation decision is going to come down to whether you just want navigation or you want all of the extras the AVIC offers. If it's just the nav you want, perhaps it is a better idea you find one with the OEM system. Remember that with the OEM system you can still get television and DVD playback if those are things you are interested in.

I just had this head unit installed (Eclipse AVN 7000) it has everything under the sun, Nav, DVD, etc. I researched after market units for about 3 months and chose the Eclipse. The nice thing about this unit is that it has a 20 gig hard drive and all the nav is on the drive so you don't need to load nav CDs. I can nav. and watch a DVD or listen to a CD at the same time. I did not want a flat panel I wanted a retractable face so I went with the AVN 7000 although Eclipse also makes flat screens in other models. Some BMW purists will scoff at removing the OEM head unit but then again they are not driving my ride!

Not sure but every so often when Eclipse updates their software you can just burn a disc and load it into the head unit...I have had no problems with the Nav so far, it has worked like a charm. I love the flat screens I chose to get the retractable screen because I work in a big city and park in a public lot so I wanted my system to be stealth. The only complaint that I have with this unit is that it does not have 100 iPod integration, I have to scroll through my library on the iPod and then it will play through my system or I can just hit random and let it rip. Video quality on the screen for DVDs is incredible.

I just purchased a Tom Tom 910 for my 2004 X5 and I am more than happy. I placed it just under the rearview mirror and will post a pic later this week. One question though if anyone has the answer. I have the mobil phone with Bluetooth and am trying to pair the Tom Tom with the BMW Bluetooth system. So that when the Tom Tom announces it is over the car speakers. I tried for a few minutes to pair the two with no luck. Does anyone know if this is possible??
