40. installed "power distribution" in the trunk - it is a relay that operates from the "Wake-on-LAN" signal, when the power is turned off after 16 minutes of inactivity, and the relay operates direct power from the battery.

41. installed an AUX input in order to use a BT interface to stream pandora from a "stupid phone" - http://www.xoutpost.com/electronics/mobile-electronics-forum/4850-installing-aux-input-x5.html . I made my own cable from the OE parts, such as 61136931929 connector, pins and a 3.5 stereo jack - see post http://www.xoutpost.com/961741-post33.html in this thread.
42. installed battery cut-off switch http://www.xoutpost.com/951035-post76.html
43. Got an HTC One X+ smart phone along with HTC Media Link HD in order to stream video to factory Nav screen (http://www.xoutpost.com/electronics/navigation-system/93923-streaming-video-phone-nav-screen.html#post953777). Here is a link to the functioning setup - http://www.xoutpost.com/electronics/navigation-system/95100-waze-factory-nav-screen.html. this eliminated the need for the item 34 on the list
update - the HTC phone was replaced under warranty, as its power system just did not hold up. Now I have an LG Optimus G Pro, that holds up the power rather well, but it has an MHL video out system, that i need to update my conversion setup from HTC setup i had to LG setup... why don't they just come up with one freaking standard and be done with it???!!!


44. outside mirrors to fold in on engine stop, fold out on ignition start, manual operation to be retained, as per this post - http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...-fold-out.html

45. set up a solar battery system for a stand alone battery for all the things i have - this should eliminate the alternator whine... we'll see if this works out or not

More info on the roundvision?

I was thinking of doing the pdc retrofit, however that seems even better (great for trailer pulling as well!)

the OE roundels had seen better days... hence, the search for the blacked out ones...


the rear roundel had to be secured with a double tape, as the OE roundel had that sticky foamy tape and the replacement did not.. I actually got a double sided "mending" tape from a sewing section of the local Wal-Mart - very interesting tape, i must say... i probably will use for some other things as well...
