iDrive for e39
 

Long works on creation of analogue of the manipulator iDrive for e39 are completed by me & my friend
Will work on any BMW with iBus the trunk (e46, e38, x3, x5, z4), but it is concrete under e39
the Controller completely duplicates functions right encoder on the monitor + duplicating buttons are added:
MENU
RADIO/TV modul
MODE + one button is left under is functional-programmed on the future
There Is an illumination of buttons and rings iDrive on light-emitting diodes of BMW Itself
Metal крутилка - from e90, the rest- individual workig :)

Why make life complicated :dunno:

Very cool. Great work. In general, I do like the new class of controllers like these (Audi MMI, BMW iDrive, and MB COMMAND). These keep you from reaching across the car to the dash, so that you can change the functions from more relaxed driver position. The thing that you really did well is the way you use the MODE buttons like on Audi's MMI. The MMI is freakin' awesome-- the absolute best of these controller types.

Honestly, the only people who complainn about iDrive are folks who do not own the cars. I have heard few owners actually complain about iDrive. To the contrary, owners and enthusiasts like iDrive.

DETAILS!!!!

How can I go about doing this? This is by far the best mod I have seen. Details please!!!

On your website, how do I buy one. There is alot of intrest on these in Bimmerforums and other bmw forums.

Also, I dont understand Russian and your project section is completley in russian.

A little wait. I negotiate for sale in the Europe with one of partners

I will be changing the wood in my e39 and while I have the center console off, I would really like to do this. Any updates? When will this be available? I have plenty of interest so if you need a certain amount of people it can be had. pm when this will be available and how is installation done? Do I need to open my Nav? where does it connect to the Nav?
