Can I add factory nav

I have a 2004 X5 without factory navigation. Can I add the factory nav screen and replace the factor headunit and cd player. If so how much, where to buy , and is it a simple plug and play?

not easily since you won't have factory wiring harness

It CAN be done. BMW offers a retrofit kit for E46's that includes the necessary harness but it is a labor intensive job. I'm sure it's similar on an E53.

Unless you find some good deals on ebay, expect to pay $4000+. EAS sells the components and OEM stuff is pricey when new... really makes the aftermarket alternatives seem much more appealing at that point.
