also, you will need the following for FULL setup:

- MK4
- Nav Harness
- Antenna

Please correct me if i am wrong,
But teoreticly you could connect RGB device directly to the monitor, and feead the sound from the RGB device to the AMP, and then to the speekers.
The Monitor would be just a screen with no button functions, but is should work ?

Please correct me if I'm wrong here on all this.


Ok, so the monitor is a dead flop without a source.

To get the radio function going, you need this radio tuner puppy:




How about the video part. Can one go to an aftermarket source to get a video signal to this monitor or you need the BMW NAV drive ???


What am I missing ??? I think there's a lot of details I don't have right now, especially on the wiring side of things. And $4K for the whole system is nutz......... wow............ you can kill this whole setup with the available aftermarket for way less.......... it's just the OEM integration bit that has me looking at this monitor and going........... hmmmmmmmm

^^for video, you will need a video source module, and of course the source. It is available from eas as well. If you want cost effective setup, go with aftermarket that comes complete with nav, dvd and other stuffs for around $1000 or something. OEM is expensive. I spent $2200 for OEM on my E46, which i retrofitted myself, which is why when i looked for an X5, i made sure that i have it

So what is the part in this link? If I have nav on an '05 X5 but no Sat, what will this part add?
