Adding X5 to the Stable
 

Joining the X5 club. Our 06 4.4 has arrived. Will pick it up later this week.

We just found out premium sound doesn't come with even a single cd. Come on BMW lose the cassette and at least put in a single cd. Hardwiring Ipod so its not that big of a deal though.

Initial projects:
Tinting front 35% & adding 50% to the rear's existing 40% factory(should result in 20% on the rear).

Ipod integration: not sure DICE or Dension IceLink... will get on the phone tomorrow. Any preferences?

Nav Screen interface for video.

Zaino Z2, Z6, Z2, Z6, Z2, Z6, Z8 this week.

Congratulations, and :xoutpost:

Check with Tom G. at EAS or Micah at BSW for options and advice on the audio and video.

And there's an article on the home page with tips on hardwiring the V1 - http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/x5/e...-hardwire.html. You might also want to check out the Stealth-One.

Yes I printed that DIY out last night as well as your icelink DIY.

I'll give Tom & Micah a call tomorrow.

Thanks,
Mike

Lets see the pics...

Zaino,

The ice>Link Plus has been replaced with the DICE iPod integration kit.

We've got you covered on the iPod and Video on Nav integration - shoot me an email or feel free to call if you would like to discuss what options you have.

Welcome to The World Mike. Enjoy your new ride and the :D grin that comes with ownership

HMM311, welcome to the board! I too just picked up an 4.4i X5 (01) and I luv it! Just got off the road with her as I drove it to Clearwater from Atlanta. Ol girl is a beast let me tell ya. She just got registered as I just got her two weeks ago. She has her normal wear N tear (F-L/O cv boot) but other than that she's great! Make sure to post some picks of your 06 awight! Crap I need to do the same too. :thumbup:

Congrats to both of you and welcome to X5 World. Post some pictures when you can, we never get tire of looking at them :thumbup:

Awright Florida! Welcome and congrats.

Hi Mike - Welcome! Nice stable you got there.

Mike

HMM-311, meant to ask - are you a Marine/former? Welcome no matter what!

:welcome:

Thanks for the welcome... I'll get some picks after we take delivery later this week.

Nope but I did used to live down the coast from you in Savannah.

Mike

Cool. Let me know if you slide up to this area again. As you know, there are some nice places to go!

If you don't have the Nav it does come with a single CD. I agree though, it is 2006 and at least a single CD should be inlcuded no matter what options, hopfully the X70 will correct this but that is to late for us.
