I've sent them a question about that, and asked if they have a user manual they can send me.

I'm intereted in it too, please keep us about the process

Things are on the move, glad to hear that all stock functions will/should work (DSP and other gizmos). Again, keep us posted.

It's not done yet? Then how can they be selling it here? I assume if I did a buy it now it would ship ASAP and not when it was done being made? Something is fishy.

Sounds dodgy to me

Besides preserving stock functions like DSP, etc...the user interface is the next important aspect of having a good NAV/mobile ent system. I get the feeling that rushing through development and line production to release it is going to result in a clunky, banged up system. BMW's navigation is not perfect either, but here's hoping that this one will be better than BMWs.

Apparently the MKII version will have a built-in espresso machine with foaming attachment. So obviously I'm going to wait for that one and I'll be happy to set up a group buy for it. Come to think of it, it's already available. Wait it's only a hand drawing. No, wait, it exists, but the manufacturer can only send me a hand sketch of it in black and white, on yellow paper. Awe hell, I can't wait any longer, I'm just going to buy the MK III version, which has a bagel slicer and cream cheese dispenser built in next to the ipod dock, and I believe it's on ebay already, even though the manufacturer doesn't realize it.

That's odd. As I connected with bmw e39 navigation for sale,bmw e39 nav,bmw e39 navigation system,bmw e39 navigation DVD, they said the unit is under test, and will be ok at the end of this month.

But I find the unit on the store is $582.20, free shipping, on the ebay is US $658.88 . so are they the same units? Anyway, I'd like to wait for a moment, they offer 3 years warranty , and more cheaper, it glad to me
