Rear seat entertainment DVD remote

[bsk997]

Hi,
Does anybody have the part number for the DVD remote for the middle rear seat entertainment DVD player? Also, where's the best place to purchase it cheaply?
Is this something i can purchase online and it'll work? It doesn't seem like it from a manual I've read online.
Thanks

Did you ever get a response to this question? I just bought a CPO to replace my leased X5 4.8i and the car didn't have a remote for the DVD player. Should I ask the dealership? Shouldn't it be included with a CPO? Did you ever find out where to purchase one because the one at the dealership is $300

Every BMW owner should know that RealOEM.com Online BMW Parts Catalog is your friend. Took just a few minutes to find:
Remote control, rear 65506921553 $319.02

That is the list price-you can get it from Direct BMW and Mercedes Parts and Accessories for $229.98 plus shipping.

I bought 1 off ebay after the kids lost the original. I think I paid $50. You then have to take it to the dealer to program it. Don't ask me why, but you just have to. My dealer did the reprogram under warranty.

I bought it from Ebay also....paid about $75. Afet that paid a dealer to reprogram about $50.
