Ordered my Dynavin unit today!
Just ordered my Dynavin (model E39) today from Bimmian!
$709 + $32 shipping, probably have it by early next week. I confirmed with them that they actually have the physical units sitting in their warehouse ready to ship.
Happy happy, Joy joy

I hope you don't have a DSP unit in your X......it will not work with DSP.

I'll update soon with some more pics. So far so well. Took a little getting used to, buts works pretty well. Install was truly plug and play.
A minor gripe is that the FM radio volume is unusually loud.
Bluetooth works with my iPhone 4 as well as streaming music via Bluetooth, nice feature.
Fit n finish is nice, almost looks stock.

Does this unit fit e53 with oem nav and no dsp? Can you still get mpg on the cluster or does it take away all onboard comp options?

That unit Bimmian is showing is the Dynavin "E46" unit, which is not made for the X5(E53). The Dynavin "E39" unit is the one that is fits right into the E53 w/no mods whatsoever, as pictured above in my other post. They are only selling units made for cars "without" NAV, not sure why.
The unit does not show the original BC functions at all.
As for the DSP, read up on other posts to see what people are doing.

I just bought a 2002 4.6is non-nav, I think I'll be going with the Hualingan unit, I like the bigger screen much better than the smaller Dynavin.

Hi 06E53, Hope you don't mind a few questions on the Dynavin. I want to get one too.

1. Where did you order it? How much did it cost? Shipping to..?
2. How's the ipod interface? All songs, genres, albums, playlists etc. accessible fromt the touch screen?
3. How's th Bluetooth phone function? Clear voice to and from the unit?
4. GPS function running on what OS? iGO or Garmin? Functioning well?
5. How did you secure the Dynavin on the dash? Does it have the metal frame with screws? Snap on like the former MID?

6. If I already took out the frame inside the dash, would it still be possible to mount the Dynavin?

Hope you won't mind the questions. I'm planning on changing my unit Thanks!
