E70 Aftermarket Radio

Has anyone here ever try any of these products or know of anyone who has?:

Touch Screen BMW X5 E70 Head Unit GPS Navigation System with Ipod USB SD AUX Rearview CANBUS


BMW X5 E70 DAB retrofit

I am really considering trying one of these as it looks clean and close to OEM.

You may want to try live with a touch screen in your E70 (i.e., just make believe it's a touch screen) before buying. Imagine reaching over every time you need to take your eyes off the road to do something. I have had my E70 for less than 6 months and I still look down at the iDrive buttons from time to time.

Does your E70 have the OEM Navigation? These AM radios are supposedly controllable by the iDrive (is this the control knob on the armrest?).

The radio does seem a little deeep in there and looks iffy to reach while driving- if not using the iDrive.
