X5 E53 DVD player

[sam_x5]

Well yeah I bought it because My monitors came with the catalog and I checked picture of the player in the catalog and it matches the one on eBay perfectly, plus after what you told me I thought it had to be the right one! I'm gonna mount it in it's original place between the rear seats because like I said I have a complete system and it came with the mounting bracket that matches the seats, just like the one you have in you X5. But my biggest concern is I don't see wires for the power (positive and ground) so still not sure how am I going to power it up? There is a small slim 1'' long black plug not sure what that is for so I'm thinking that might be for the power but not sure where does it plug in? When I get your player I'm going to need your help if you wouldn't mind? Or I'll try to go to my dealer to see if they can provide me with the installation instructions

the black wire is a din plug it carries the audio and video to the main module that mounts up front. The power connector is the molex connector. Im a try and post the link to the manual on a file share site or something and see if you can access it then or pm me and i will email ya the manual. I recieved it from the original supplier to bmw he used to be on the forums..

Hey man! thank you so much for all your help and effort! really appreciate it!! I got my player and I'm happy because it is the right one!! I was luck that the seller was only 10 miles away from where I live so I just went and pick it up and he had tested it for me. So now I really need your help with the installation! oh by the way I checked the harness and the connections you have on those pictures and I have the same harness and connections. I just tried to download the pdf files that you have uploaded but I ended up with installing a program called whitesmoke for some reason. please do me this big favor and email me the installation files to my email address. here it is [email protected] thank a lot man!! you really made my day because i've been looking for this player for months now! thanx you are the best!!
