The only catch is I need to be able to have the audio working while I am looking at say my navigation map. I have a 2007 X3. If you could let me know what I could do I'd really appreciate it.

Also, I heard there was a device that if i plugged into one of the wires in the trunk it would then display television (or other name) on my navigation menu, do you have something like that?

thanks for the help,
Tyson

I do assume that the VSM module comes with the cable between the VSM and navi, but where will the stereo sound connect, because:

- it might connect to some plug in the trunk if one has a DSP or the cabling prepared for Sirius/xm/whatever you have in USA. I don't have dsp nor any cable like that on my trunk.

- it might connect to the CD-changer plug at the middle console, like the iPod kits. I have no such cable on my car, and trust me I've almost disassembled it all.

- it might connect to the aux kit, if one has it. Fortunately I've asked for this one.

- it might require a direct connection to the radio to get access to the aux pins (if the aux kit is not installed) or to the cd-changer pins.

This is exactly one of the questions I asked Tom... In case the VSM can connect to the CD-changer cable, if he could provide some kind of connector/pins to connect to the radio and take the audio back to the trunk.

So.. where does the sound connect then?
This all depends on your model year and what kit is used. Let me know what you would like to use as a video source and I can recommend the correct kit and give a complete description of the functions.

Hi Tom,

Thanks! I managed to find the OEM TV module. I wonder why BMW moved the TV module from the sedan to that spot for the touring wagon.

The Dietz module works as advertised.

Thanks!!
