Alpine 8" double din in BMW x5. Video •••

Have any of you guys seen this?
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o13LjZSxK7s

I think it looks rather nice but can't find the bezel around it anywhere(maybe custom made?)
I stopped by CarToys yesterday and I looked into a 2014 7" Kenwood screen and they promised they'll make the DSP work with it don't know about the OBC functions yet gotta go ask them again.Here a video with the exact same trim cartoys have same size DVD but the DVD model is different :http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=20deRVlfD0o
Now I think that looks better than what I've previously seen on e39's.

Anyhow...I like this 8" Alpine screen in this YouTube video a lot more
CarToys guys also have a colleague doing water transfer prints or hydrographics-same thing...he said he can match the bezel that goes around the screen with the dark poplar wood I have in the car which is pretty cool or just go carbon fiber print everywhere.Here a link with the bezel trim:Metra Part # 95-9308B | BMW X5 Dash kit | Metra Online

I'm really curious if any of you saw the video already and how you feel about that look.
Thanks !!

My bad, the metra looks quite different from what I see in the second video...hmm
Wondering where the trim in the video can be purchased at-like it a lot more...

Pioneer is coming out with a new line of GPS. It's being advertised all around. Along the lines of 800 series, 6000, etc. I'll wait to read a few reviews but they look promising. Mine's an 03. So no BT and it has the infamous DSP option (essentially, fancy name for an equalizer).
