You won't find a HU like mine with the "Shadowline" trim. It's the blacker thin strip that's under the screen. I did that because it was the only "chrome" thing in my interior. Nothing a little rattle can couldn't fix!

I have this model https://xtrons.com/bmw-x5-e53-androi...rom-pq1953bipl

It was installed about half a year ago. I’m going to have to check the connections once I have a bit more time, as I don’t see any reason why I’m having the issues I am. Overall I am very pleased (compared to the stock). When my GPS does work, it’s loads better than the stock one, especially with the ability to have Waze. Having Spotify with loads of downloaded music is a godsend as well for long trips. And not gonna lie, having Netflix for when I’m waiting in the car for extended times is cool too :cool:

How is your experience with the GPS connection? Does it stay constantly connected? How long does it take to start up?

The model I got fit in like a glove without absolutely any adjustments.

I haven't had any issues that made me notice. It works as well as my smartphone. I mounted mine inside the dash on top of some metal bracing. My first one, I ran up to the dash through the front midrange hole and had the damn thing melt in the Kuwait sun. It still works, just looks like a blob now.

Hmm okay I need to take apart mine over the weekend, seems like there is some issue. Yesterday I timed it and it took over 15 minutes before I got a GSP signal. But afterwards, when the car was stopped for just a few minutes, it popped up within a minute.

Wow, that does sound bad. By the time mine boots and I open an app neeeding GPS, it seems to be working fine.

I have this same unit, but not branded as Xtrons but different, can't remember... It the 4GB version and works great. It has been in the car for 10 months now and I can't fault it! Fit's like a glove and with the IBUSS app and USB it shows the same information as the stock nav, with extra coding options! Love it!

I have my GPS boot on start up and it does so fast enough. I have less RAM than the newest HU's. It keeps loading continually as I drive so no problems there. I need to get a SIM card as updating my local area is just annoying and I use it to find my clients daily.

I am waiting on my Resler integration. Can't wait to get that hooked up! How was getting it installed on the HD? Looks easy enough.:dunno:

Can anyone comment on the DAB install? I am just trying to save a few bucks by not ordering the additional 6m antenna if it works with out it. Plus, I don't want to have to take the interior out again. Holy hell. That was a chore!

Did the IBUSS integrate into the existing NAV or are you using an app? This is my one complaint so far. The NAV is just a PITA without using 4G.

Car looks great with the new wheels, Spook!
