SOLD! BMW E53 X5 overhead 10" DVD docking station - OEM / Visteon - $30

PRICE UPDATE: $30 SHIPPED ANYWHERE IN THE USA (NEED TO MAKE ROOM IN THE BASEMENT)

I have for sale a kit for installing an overhead 10" LCD DVD player in an E53 X5. This kit is designed for use with a portable 10" LCD DVD player, which can be ejected and used outside the vehicle.
Note: This kit will NOT work if you have the big Panoramic sunroof found on some 2004 - 2006 X5's.


Included are the following parts:

Original BMW X5 shroud in grey (dome lights in photo are NOT included)
Original BMW adapter wire harness for shroud light's connection to rear dome light harness
OEM supplier generic shroud in grey
OEM supplier docking station in grey
OEM supplier universal wire harness and power supply
OEM supplier FM modulator w/ 8 frequencies
OEM supplier universal roof support braces (x4)
BMW installation instructions and BMW portable DVD player owners manual
OEM supplier installation instructions

Over the past year I've collected parts to install this system in my personal X5. However buying all parts through BMW would give a total cost of over $3000! As a result I purchased some parts from the supplier which BMW uses (google "Visteon Family Entertainment System"). Some parts were in the wrong color for my headliner (mine is black) and I've put together this 2nd kit for sale here.

You can purchase the portable DVD player through BMW (assuming it's still available). The kit lists for almost $2000, but does include a carry case, remote, 2 IR wireless headphones and some A/V cables. I purchased the player w/ remote for about $175 from Walmart 2 years ago. Wireless headphones were about $35 each from a Visteon supplier (R.T. Grim Electronics). This route is obviously much less expensive.

Note: the picture on the DVD player rotates 180 degrees when docked.

One disadvantage of the kit I have for sale is the installation parts are "universal", meaning the installer will have to pick the mounting points in the roof and splice the kit wire harness (power and ground) into your vehicle's.

One advantage with this kit is you can use the FM modulator if your radio doesn't have an AUX input. The docking station has an on/off button for this FM modulator. The OEM supplier shroud has a hole for this button. The BMW one does not, but does have a molded circle on the inside where this hole would be.
Note: the FM modulator uses antenna connections which require adapters to use with the BMW antenna. Any installer should be able to get these adapters.

If you have the electric rear seat buttons in your headliner, these will need to be relocated to the C-pillar (same location as X5's w/ the panoramic sunroof). The BMW installation instructions tell you how to do this. You need 2 plastic trim rings which are not included with this kit. I can provide the part numbers.


As you still need to hunt down the DVD player and buy the dome lights from BMW, the price is only $100 + shipping for the parts listed above.

If you're interested I have all of the installation instructions (Visteon & BMW) in PDF format.

This item can also be shipped from Quebec, Canada. I just need a postal code for a quote.
