New DVD kit
Restrictions: This system cannot be used in conjunction with the factory option rear seat entertainment system (SA 6FF). For vehicles up to 10/07 production. Installation requires the DVD player/monitor kit and the monitor bezel kit. If the vehicle has comfort seats (SA 456) then you will also need the comfort seat bracket.

My friend, The INViSiON System is far superior to that system. Not to mention it plays 2 DVD's and I can blow away that price point for you. I offer special X5World pricing and have sold countless kits to many satisfied xoutpost.com er's over the years. If you have any questions whatsoever, please feel free to contact me via email, PM, or you can call me. I am here to answer any and all question that you may have about my products and service.
Here is a link to the xoutpost.com write-up on my system... http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e53-forum/...light=invision I look forward to hearing from you! -Lawrence

I agree with acedeucy. The two main difference that I thought of right away are that the ones you pictured are appendages and stick out off the seat back, reducing space and just get in the way. If you want to fold down your rear seats for greater cargo volume, and the front seats are not fully forward, the rear seat backs might hit the DVD screens. The other thing is that you are limited to watching only one source for both monitors through an external (another thing to mount) DVD player. What if one passenger wants to watch a movie and the other wants to play PS2? You can't do that with the OEM system but the Invision system allows you to view two different sources at the same time: one in each monitor. Plus there is no additional player to mount.
The link provided is my write up. Unfortunately the pictures are not showing up. (Problem with the server.) I'll try to fix it tonight so you can see what it looks like, at least in an E53.

Thank you for the kind words Kevin, they are always appreciated!
If you need to see pictures of it installed in an E70 just email me and I will send you photos. Also in Australia LVR purchased a system from me and it should be installed already if you need to ask him how he likes it. Thanks, Law

You can use two different sources on the monitors at the same time!

In this point you are wrong. Read the last bullet of the official press release. And the second point are the comfort seats, wich are a must. With the invision system you can not use the superb original headrest. Greetings from Switzerland. |

Sorry to rain on this parade, but there are definitely some "holes" in your swisscheese because that kit is not capable of displaying two "secondary" sources at the same time like the INViSiON kit can. For example if you want to plug in an iPod Video and plug in an Xbox at the same time, the BMW system has to be viewing the BMW DVD source as 1 of the main sources. It can then play a "secondary" source to compliment the main source which has to be playing on at least one of the screens. From this setting you can then jump one of the secondary source's to play on both screens as well but you can not play 2 secondary sources at the same time. With the INViSiON system any source can be played at any time. But you are correct about losing the origianal BMW OEM Headrests, but how suberb are they when they don't have a DVD player and RCA jacks built into each headrest. And INViSiON is the only aftermarket solution for BMW's with Comfort Seats and being able to still keep the vertical movement of the headrests. Greetings from Florida! -Law

This is the solution if you want to keep your comfort seat headrests...
Yes, it only plays one source ... but I have three kids, and with a roof mounted player, the ones in the 3rd row can see the screen too (which they couldn't with headrest screens). I have this hard-wired so the sound comes through the aux-input. It also transmits IR, so the kids can use their headphones if we want to listen to music. |
