2001 Aftermarket Head Unit
 

I have an '01 X5, and want to add an aftermarket head unit with touch screen navigation. Any idea on what direction I should go? Need help finding a bezel to work with it too.

Criteria:
Touch screen Navigation, DVD enabled, iPod enabled, and Bluetooth. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are a few people who have done this - do a search for "AVIC" and you should find the info you need.

In regards to the bezel...go with http://www.mybimmer.net/

AVIC-Z1 by Pioneer sounds like the system for you. I am about to do this mod myself. Should cost anywhere between $2000-$3000 depending on installer, where you get the parts and what not. Circuit City quoted me at $3800, which is crazy.

How does your car run after 100,000 miles? I am very interested in this because I am going to be there soon (2 years) and I am trying to figure out whether I want to add a $2500 mod (AVIC-Z1)...but it might not be worth it considering I might need to get a new ride.

I have the eclipse AVN 5435 and I love it. Touch screen with Navi, CD, DVD, etc... Nothing comes close for the price.

Running great!!! Only thing I am waiting on now is the tranny going out in the next 30-40K miles. But otherwise she is still pulling hard - I surprise a lot of people when taking off at a red light and leaving them in my "family" vehicle.:rofl:

A buddy of mine also has as Eclipse head unit and loves it - it has dual DVD players built in so you can run the nav DVD and play music at the same time. Of course if you buy one with a HDD, you don' need the dual DVD.

Dual DVD players? Mine has a DVD slot for the Nav/ DVD's and one for CD's. New Model?

Do you have Bluetooth?

no pics?
how could you?

Picsssssss plzz

Ok,Ok, here are afew. I plan on making another trim piece that will make it flush with the dash. I just have to get sometime to do it. BTW the movie I was playing has a blue tint to it. It's not the player.
