Sorry Chillie,

The aerial on the roof is for the OEM built in cordless phone, not sure if you guys get that in the US or other countries.

What you basically do is pop a sim card into the internal system which activates the handsfree phone in the X5, the aerial is a signal booster so if you get out of the X5 it allows you to have a larger reception if you walk away from the vehicle and using the cordless handset.

I guess its kinda like the a cordless home phone.

My X5 is a late 2003 car so the lights couldnt be split to to do any internal mods, so I ended up going that route and it did turn out nice and for only a few $$$ and yet that is a camer in the hitch cover...
Hmmm...can you further explain the silver vinyl mod?

Hi,

Yeah most likely is! A guy that works for me does all my adds and puts alot of stuff on there and other forums and websites etc.

But I dont think I'll bother selling now as prices here have fallen terribly both UK/N.I; and I dont see any point in blowing it out for silly money as I would only replace it with an Imola red 4.8is anyway. So I'm thinking of keeping in now and face lifting it to the 4.8is. I may have my OEM 20's for sale so keep in touch.

Imola red has to be the nicest possible colour for the x5.
